rjava.lang.IllegalArgumentException on startActivity(intent,bundle animantion)

Question

Hi I am using following code but sometimes app is crashing with error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException in startActivity(slideactivity, bndlanim

Answer 1

I found the problem, after digging really deep I saw that there is some problem with the SDK > 21 so lollipop up. In my case this happens when using transparent theme together with some enter and exit transitions.

Two options:

If I remove the ActivityOptions.makeCustomAnimation().toBundle(); and work good again.

If I set my theme to my app normal theme works good too.

I will have to investigate further but I guess there is some configuration on the theme that makes this crash.

Answer 2

Try to use ActivityOptionsCompat instead of ActivityOptions if you are using ActivityCompat.startActivity(). As well use ActivityOptionsCompat.makeSceneTransitionAnimation() to make animation options.

Answer 3

instead of

startActivity(slideactivity, bndlanimation);

use

ActivityCompat.startActivity(this, slideactivity, bndlanimation)
