Transitioning between activities without moving actionbar

Question

Does anyone know how to transition between activities without animating the actionbar like in the Gmail app?

Answer 1

It is not a transition between Activities, but between Fragments.

http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html

Fragments were introduced in 3.0, but there is a backport library in the android SDK. You can use them from and above API level 4.

Answer 2

Try with this:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(context, MyActivity.class);
myIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);
context.startActivity(myIntent);
