I have the following style on in my style.xml
and is a follow up to my question here Activity transition effects: slide in for the top activity and scale for the bottom activity:
<style name="RevealTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
<item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/ActivityAnimation</item>
</style>
<style name="ActivityAnimation" parent="@android:style/Animation">
<item name="android:activityOpenEnterAnimation">@anim/animation_in</item>
<item name="android:activityOpenExitAnimation">@anim/animation_out</item>
<item name="android:activityCloseEnterAnimation">@anim/animation_back_in</item>
<item name="android:activityCloseExitAnimation">@anim/animation_back_out</item>
</style>
I have found that the style android:windowBackground
conflicts with android:windowAnimationStyle
and the animation is not fully displaying. If I include the above style as is in my style.xml and run my app, I get the following:
If I comment out the lines here:
<style name="RevealTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
<!--<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item> COMMENTED OUT-->
<item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/ActivityAnimation</item>
</style>
<style name="ActivityAnimation" parent="@android:style/Animation">
<item name="android:activityOpenEnterAnimation">@anim/animation_in</item>
<item name="android:activityOpenExitAnimation">@anim/animation_out</item>
<item name="android:activityCloseEnterAnimation">@anim/animation_back_in</item>
<item name="android:activityCloseExitAnimation">@anim/animation_back_out</item>
</style>
I don't understand why this is the case. I need the windowIsTranslucent for some of my other animations.
These are the xml animation class I'm using (thanks to Nikolai Doronin):
