Displaying logo for few seconds at application start

Question

I want to display a logo for few seconds before application starts and menu is visible. I want also to use some when it disappears. Should I create a new activity? Can I set it

Answer 1

define a layout for the splash screen which will contain your logo , and then , add this code to your activity :

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.splash);
    //display the logo during 5 seconds,
    new CountDownTimer(5000,1000){
        @Override
        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished){} 

        @Override
        public void onFinish(){
               //set the new Content of your activity
               YourActivity.this.setContentView(R.layout.main);
        }
   }.start();
}
