Splashscreen in your android app project

Sample code on how to create splashscreen in your project.
In my example i make swap the MainActivity.java to my splash.java the first load is splashActivity.java and after a few seconds the next is MainActivity.java load.

First let set-up the swap in our AndroidManifest.xml ill make the splash.java as a main.

<activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"/> <activity android:name=".SplashActivity" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" android:label="@string/app_name" >

Next goto your java folder and create SplashActivity.java and paste this following codes. import android.app.*; import android.content.*; import android.graphics.*; import android.os.*; import android.view.*; import android.view.View.*; public class SplashActivity extends Activity { private static boolean splashLoaded = false; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); if (!splashLoaded) { setContentView(R.layout.splash); int secondsDelayed = 1; new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() { public void run() { startActivity(new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class)); finish(); } }, secondsDelayed * 3000); splashLoaded = true; } else { Intent goToMainActivity = new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class); goToMainActivity.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT); startActivity(goToMainActivity); finish(); } } }
NOTE: 3000 = 3 seconds interval before the MainActivity.java loads.

In the last step goto your layout and create splash.xml paste this following code below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="horizontal" android:background="#000000"> <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true"> <ImageView android:layout_width="150dp" android:layout_height="150dp" android:background="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:layout_margin="10dp"/> </LinearLayout> </RelativeLayout>
