Disable activity slide-in animation when launching new activity

Question

I have an activity which launches another activity  via a button click  By default  on newer OS versions of android  the OS will animate the new activity sliding in from right to left   Is there a way to disable this animation  I just want the new activity to appear without any sort of animation

The FLAG ACTIVITY NO ANIMATION flag works fine for disabling the animation when starting activities   To disable the similar animation that is triggered when calling finish   on an Activity  i e the animation slides from right to left instead  you can call overridePendingTransition 0  0  after calling finish   and the next animation will be excluded   This also works on the in-animation if you call overridePendingTransition 0  0  after calling startActivity

In order to avoid the black background when starting an activity already in the stack  I added  overridePendingTransition 0 0  in onStart      Override protected void onStart         overridePendingTransition 0 0       super onStart

To clear things up  FLAG ACTIVITY NO ANIMATION  or android windowAnimationStyle    null in the theme  work perfectly fine for both  enter and exit  The problem is  that the enter animation checks if the animation is enabled in the one activity and the exit animation checks it for the other one  So make sure to disable it in both activities

In my opinion the best answer is to use  overridePendingTransition 0  0     to avoid seeing animation when you want to Intent to an Activity use   this startActivity new Intent v getContext    newactivity class    this overridePendingTransition 0  0     and to not see the animation when you press back button Override onPause method in your newactivity    Override protected void onPause         super onPause        overridePendingTransition 0  0

IMHO this answer here solve issue in the most elegant way   Developer should create a style   lt style name  quot noAnimTheme quot  parent  quot android Theme quot  gt     lt item name  quot android windowAnimationStyle quot  gt  null lt  item gt   lt  style gt   then in manifest set it as theme for activity or whole application   lt activity android name  quot  ui ArticlesActivity quot  android theme  quot  style noAnimTheme quot  gt   lt  activity gt   Voila  Nice and easy   P S  credits to original author please

I m on 4 4 2  and calling overridePendingTransition 0  0  in the launching activity s onCreate   will disable the starting animation  calling overridePendingTransition 0  0  immediately after startActivity   did NOT work    As noted in another answer  calling overridePendingTransition 0  0  after finish   disables the closing animation   Btw  I found that setting the style with  android windowAnimationStyle   null  another answer mentioned here  caused a crash when my launching activity tried to set the action bar title   Debugging further  I discovered that somehow this causes window hasFeature Window FEATURE ACTION BAR  to fail in the Activity s initActionBar

FLAG ACTIVITY NO ANIMATION may work  but wasn t doing the trick for me when combined with FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TASK and FLAG ACTIVITY NEW TASK  I m apparently seeing the animation for creating a new task with a fresh activity stack as I navigate laterally to my other top-level views   What did work here was calling  overridePendingTransition 0  0    either immediately after my startActivity   call or the onPause    Both ways worked  but doing it after startActivity   gives me a little more control over when I want animations and when I don t
