Smooth transition between full-screen action and one with notification bar and action bar

Question

Background

I have an application that has 2 actions:

• burst activity, which is displayed in full screen mode (no action bar, notification bar)
• The main action, which has both an action bar (uses actionBarSherlock) and a notification bar.

Problem

For some reason, when switching from the first action to the second, a “busting” build process occurs, which shows the contents of the second action without an action bar and notification bar, and after a moment it shows them as.

This causes the content below to move too much, which is very noticeable.

Possible Solution

As I saw, a possible solution would be to hide the action bar and show it a little later (500 ms later), but this seems like a bad solution (which makes it slower and hides for no reason), plus I need to get the position of the actionBar elements for another purpose ( to display the tutorial).

Question

Is it possible to avoid a "respite"? One that doesn't involve such a weird workaround?

Answer 1

I have resolved a problem with the following:

1.- I have to optimize all the screens where AB was shown. In some cases, I used ListViews that were not implemented correctly and that caused noticeable load times in activity.

2.- I have a status bar BEFORE starting a new action . I mean: I showed the status bar in full screen mode just before starting non-full screen mode. At the same time, I ensured that the layout of the second activity (not full-screen) never changed.

With these two small changes, the AB transition is now much smoother.

Answer 2

Why don't you use some other animation slides instead of the default?

something like that?

overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.accelerate_interpolator, android.R.anim.slide_out_right); 

Here are lists of animations you can use http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.anim.html
