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

Why? Users don't like to wait. However, if you need to wait because you're loading some data, you can:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.splash);

    /* Do some work in a new thread, calling setContentView at the end with your view */
}
