Splash Screen

[vibhor sharma]

Hi !

I have been into java programming before staring with Android , especially coding UI port of App using XML.

I am trying to build a app , such that when a user selects my app on phone a splash screen should come first ,(e.g:-ABC.png).
How to achieve that when my app starts ??

as well as could you please guide me how to quickly grab the UI part of app , books, links ,videos etc ??

Thanks

Hi Vibhor,

make an Activity which displays your splash-screen the DEFAULT one. startActivity() from your splash-screen Activity when needed (upon animation end, timeout etc).
I've implemented it by this way and it works and looks fine.

You can make an activity showing your splash image for few seconds & after that it start another activity via intent. Below is an example -

public class SplashScreen extends Activity {
	private final int SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGTH = 3000; //splash activity display time in milli seconds
	
	@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
	setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen); // layout contains your splash image
	new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable(){
				@Override
				public void run() {
					try{
						Intent mainIntent = new Intent(SplashScreen.this,Myactivity.class);
						startActivity(mainIntent); 
						finish();
						
					} catch (Exception e) {						
						e.printStackTrace();
					} 
				}            	        	  
	         }, SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGTH);
	}

}

Make SplashScreen activity your main activity in manifest so that it is showed first when app is launched.
