Activities transition with ActivityOptionsCompat issue

Question

I am currently developping a news application, and to enhance the app, I wanted to add transitions between my RecyclerView elements and my detail article Activity. In order to do that, I added ActivityOptionsCompat (my BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity - minSdkVersion of my app is 17) as a bundle to the startActivity method.

This is what I did :

List<Pair<View, String>> sharedElements = new ArrayList<>();

// I add multiple Pair to the list...

ActivityOptionsCompat options = ActivityOptionsCompat.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(
            activity,
            sharedElements.toArray(new Pair[sharedElements.size()])
);

activity.startActivity(intent, options.toBundle());

So, my test device was a samsung galaxy S4 (5.1) and everything was working as expected, no issue. Before the release, I tried on a samsung galaxy S8 (7.0), and this is when I found the issue. The first detail article activity works like a charm, but when I try to open a second article, I have a crash :

I saw this post (IllegalArgumentException in ActivityManagerProxy), but I still have the same issue. Did you also experiment this bug ? If so, did you manage to fix it ?

Thanks a lot,
