Delay shared element transition to complete statelist animation

Question

I\'ve been trying out shared element transition on Lollipop. i have a recyclerview which loads some cards and one click the card expands to its details in the next activity.

Answer 1

I ended up using a work around, but I still would want to know what is the right way of doing this and therefore leaving the question open.

The work around I did was 1. remove the state list animator and add that as an animator in the onclick method. 2. Used a Handler to post a delayed call to the activity

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                      @Override
                      public void run() {

                          Intent i=new Intent(SearxhJobs.this,JobsTypes.class);
                          startActivity(i);
                      }
                  }, 200);

P.S- I did end up removing the effect as it was not very intuitive.

Answer 2

The way that may help some that already have the Transitions setup in Second Activity:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
    getWindow().getSharedElementEnterTransition().setDuration(500);
    getWindow().getSharedElementReturnTransition().setDuration(500)
        .setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator());
}
