makeSceneTransitionAnimation

public static ActivityOptions makeSceneTransitionAnimation (Activity activity, 
                View sharedElement, 
                String sharedElementName)

Create an ActivityOptions to transition between Activities using cross-Activity scene animations. This method carries the position of one shared element to the started Activity. The position of sharedElement will be used as the epicenter for the exit Transition. The position of the shared element in the launched Activity will be the epicenter of its entering Transition.

This requires Window.FEATURE_ACTIVITY_TRANSITIONS to be enabled on the calling Activity to cause an exit transition. The same must be in the called Activity to get an entering transition.

Parameters
activity Activity: The Activity whose window contains the shared elements.

sharedElement View: The View to transition to the started Activity.

sharedElementName String: The shared element name as used in the target Activity. This must not be null.

Returns
ActivityOptions Returns a new ActivityOptions object that you can use to supply these options as the options Bundle when starting an activity.

makeSceneTransitionAnimation

public static ActivityOptions makeSceneTransitionAnimation (Activity activity, 
                Pair...<ViewString> sharedElements)

Create an ActivityOptions to transition between Activities using cross-Activity scene animations. This method carries the position of multiple shared elements to the started Activity. The position of the first element in sharedElements will be used as the epicenter for the exit Transition. The position of the associated shared element in the launched Activity will be the epicenter of its entering Transition.

This requires Window.FEATURE_ACTIVITY_TRANSITIONS to be enabled on the calling Activity to cause an exit transition. The same must be in the called Activity to get an entering transition.

Parameters
activity Activity: The Activity whose window contains the shared elements.

sharedElements Pair: The names of the shared elements to transfer to the called Activity and their associated Views. The Views must each have a unique shared element name.

Returns
ActivityOptions Returns a new ActivityOptions object that you can use to supply these options as the options Bundle when starting an activity.

makeTaskLaunchBehind

public static ActivityOptions makeTaskLaunchBehind ()

If set along with Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT then the task being launched will not be presented to the user but will instead be only available through the recents task list. In addition, the new task wil be affiliated with the launching activity's task. Affiliated tasks are grouped together in the recents task list.

This behavior is not supported for activities with launchMode values of singleInstance or singleTask.

Returns
ActivityOptions

makeThumbnailScaleUpAnimation

public static ActivityOptions makeThumbnailScaleUpAnimation (View source, 
                Bitmap thumbnail, 
                int startX, 
                int startY)

Create an ActivityOptions specifying an animation where a thumbnail is scaled from a given position to the new activity window that is being started.

If the Intent this is being used with has not set its Intent.setSourceBounds, those bounds will be filled in for you based on the initial thumbnail location and size provided here.

Parameters
source View: The View that this thumbnail is animating from. This defines the coordinate space for startX and startY.

thumbnail Bitmap: The bitmap that will be shown as the initial thumbnail of the animation.

startX int: The x starting location of the bitmap, relative to source.

startY int: The y starting location of the bitmap, relative to source.

Returns
ActivityOptions Returns a new ActivityOptions object that you can use to supply these options as the options Bundle when starting an activity.

requestUsageTimeReport

public void requestUsageTimeReport (PendingIntent receiver)

Ask the system track that time the user spends in the app being launched, and report it back once done. The report will be sent to the given receiver, with the extras EXTRA_USAGE_TIME_REPORT and EXTRA_USAGE_TIME_REPORT_PACKAGES filled in.

The time interval tracked is from launching this activity until the user leaves that activity's flow. They are considered to stay in the flow as long as new activities are being launched or returned to from the original flow, even if this crosses package or task boundaries. For example, if the originator starts an activity to view an image, and while there the user selects to share, which launches their email app in a new task, and they complete the share, the time during that entire operation will be included until they finally hit back from the original image viewer activity.

The user is considered to complete a flow once they switch to another activity that is not part of the tracked flow. This may happen, for example, by using the notification shade, launcher, or recents to launch or switch to another app. Simply going in to these navigation elements does not break the flow (although the launcher and recents stops time tracking of the session); it is the act of going somewhere else that completes the tracking.

Parameters
receiver PendingIntent: A broadcast receiver that willl receive the report.

setAppVerificationBundle

public ActivityOptions setAppVerificationBundle (Bundle bundle)

Set the Bundle that is provided to the app installer for additional verification if the call to Context#startActivity results in an app being installed. This Bundle is not provided to any other app besides the installer.

Parameters
bundle Bundle

Returns
ActivityOptions

setLaunchBounds

public ActivityOptions setLaunchBounds (Rect screenSpacePixelRect)

Sets the bounds (window size and position) that the activity should be launched in. Rect position should be provided in pixels and in screen coordinates. Set to null to explicitly launch fullscreen.

NOTE: This value is ignored on devices that don't have PackageManager.FEATURE_FREEFORM_WINDOW_MANAGEMENT or PackageManager.FEATURE_PICTURE_IN_PICTURE enabled.

Parameters
screenSpacePixelRect Rect: launch bounds or null for fullscreen This value may be null.

Returns
ActivityOptions this ActivityOptions instance

setLaunchDisplayId

public ActivityOptions setLaunchDisplayId (int launchDisplayId)

Sets the id of the display where the activity should be launched. An app can launch activities on public displays or displays where the app already has activities. Otherwise, trying to launch on a private display or providing an invalid display id will result in an exception.

Setting launch display id will be ignored on devices that don't have PackageManager.FEATURE_ACTIVITIES_ON_SECONDARY_DISPLAYS.

Parameters
launchDisplayId int: The id of the display where the activity should be launched.

Returns
ActivityOptions this ActivityOptions instance.

setLockTaskEnabled

public ActivityOptions setLockTaskEnabled (boolean lockTaskMode)

Sets whether the activity is to be launched into LockTask mode. Use this option to start an activity in LockTask mode. Note that only apps permitted by DevicePolicyManager can run in LockTask mode. Therefore, if DevicePolicyManager.isLockTaskPermitted(String) returns false for the package of the target activity, a SecurityException will be thrown during Context#startActivity(Intent, Bundle). This method doesn't affect activities that are already running — relaunch the activity to run in lock task mode. Defaults to false if not set.

Parameters
lockTaskMode boolean: true if the activity is to be launched into LockTask mode.

Returns
ActivityOptions this ActivityOptions instance.

toBundle

public Bundle toBundle ()

Returns the created options as a Bundle, which can be passed to Context.startActivity(Intent, Bundle) and related methods. Note that the returned Bundle is still owned by the ActivityOptions object; you must not modify it, but can supply it to the startActivity methods that take an options Bundle.

Returns
Bundle

update

public void update (ActivityOptions otherOptions)

Update the current values in this ActivityOptions from those supplied in otherOptions. Any values defined in otherOptions replace those in the base options.

Parameters
otherOptions ActivityOptions
