Android, how to disable the 'wipe' effect when starting a new activity?

Question

In my application, how do I disable the transition animation that shows the new activity layout enter from the right and the old one exit to left?

Versions 2.0 -> 2.2 if

Answer 1

Add this flag to your intent: android.content.Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION.

Android docs states:

If set in an Intent passed to Context.startActivity(), this flag will prevent the system from applying an activity transition animation to go to the next activity state.

BTW: don't use it to set fire to an orphanage please :)
