After 1999, there was plenty of non-anime programming; such as, the animated and live action (Tim Burton) Batman movies, Super Friends, Thundercats, ReBoot, the animated Superman series, just to list a few examples. Another few examples are, non-anime as the 2002 animated series He-Man, Batman Beyond, the animated Batman movies, and even the Justice League. These were aired during the after school hours, around 4-6pm, thereabout. By the way, Jackie Chan Adventures does count, it was aired on the Saturday Night Launch block (not SVRD, that's completely different from Toonami) in 2004, and Transformers Unicron Trilogy (Armada, Energon, and Cybertron) were anime and released on the block but didn't stay long enough - they were mostly used for marathons during holidays or just filler.

Of course, in July 2001, there was the Midnight Run but that wasn't even fully anime until March 6th when it was reduced to an hour long block consisting of just two anime shows.

Now, when did Toonami become 100% anime? Well, that occured when it was relaunched way back in 2012, until than non-anime seires were sprinkled into the mix partically every year and every few months from 1997-2008; which is called the Cartoon Network era. We are currently in the Adult Swim era of Toonami as Adult Swim revived the block by popular fan demand.
