Blinking screen on image transition between activities

On the exiting activity, call getWindow().setExitTransition(null);

On the entering activity, call getWindow().setEnterTransition(null);

It will prevent the fade out of the exiting activity and the fade in of the entering activity, which removes the apparent blinking effect.

The "white blinking" you are seeing is the result of the two activities alpha-animating in and out during the transition: when activity A starts activity B, activity A fades out and activity B fades in.

If you want to prevent the status bar and/or navigation bar from fading during the transition (and thus reducing the "blinking" effect a bit), you can look at this post.

Make some method in helper like

public static Transition makeEnterTransition() {
    Transition fade = new Fade();
    fade.excludeTarget(android.R.id.navigationBarBackground, true);
    fade.excludeTarget(android.R.id.statusBarBackground, true);
    return fade;
}

Execute it in the activity that you are starting like this

getWindow().setEnterTransition(TransitionUtils.makeEnterTransition());

I solved this issue by changing background color of my default theme, hope this is still can help to someone save the time.
