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

Elements fade in and out, unless you specify explicitly they are the same on both activities. That includes status and navigation bar.

In your particular case, I would add the toolbar and these two views to the shared elements list:

List viewPairs = new ArrayList<>();
viewPairs.add(Pair.create(findViewById(android.R.id.statusBarBackground), Window.STATUS_BAR_BACKGROUND_TRANSITION_NAME));
viewPairs.add(Pair.create(findViewById(android.R.id.navigationBarBackground), Window.NAVIGATION_BAR_BACKGROUND_TRANSITION_NAME));
// Add your views...

Pair[] array = new Pair[viewPairs.size()];
ActivityOptionsCompat options = ActivityOptionsCompat.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(getActivity(), viewPairs.toArray(array)).toBundle();
// ...

ActivityCompat.startActivity(activity, intent, options.toBundle());
