Disable window and transition settings

Question

So what I need to do is toggle window and/or transition animations on and off in code, to have the same effect of going Settings > Display > Animations > Disable all animati

Answer 1

Check you are setting the correct scales.

Settings.System.TRANSITION_ANIMATION_SCALE 

Will change the Activity transitions.

Where as:

Settings.System.WINDOW_ANIMATION_SCALE

Will effect the Window animations such as Dialogs opening.

(Added API16) This will enable/disable View specific animations.

Settings.System.ANIMATOR_DURATION_SCALE

Also I'm pretty sure these are floats as these can be 0.5x animation settings meaning half speed. I have never tried these from an App before.

But two things come to mind:

• The ContentProvider is asynchronous, and you will need to listen to the Setting to finished being set
• Also that these will probably not work until you create/finish and activity. meaning changing them mid activity might not effect the current Activity, but I will have to test that theory.
