Blinking screen on image transition between activities

Question

I implemented an image transition between two activities using the new shared elements from lollipop. It\'s working but I get a weird white blinking on the entire screen du

Answer 1

I have had similar blinking issues and tried many of the examples mentioned here but for me it didn't solve the issues. What did work for me was changing the window background for the second activity theme to transparent. (@Webdma used black, but in my case that made the screen flash black instead of white)

    @android:color/transparent
