How do I make a splash screen? [closed]

Answer 1

public class SplashActivity extends Activity {

  Context ctx;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      ctx = this;
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);

      Thread thread = new Thread(){
          public void run(){
              try {
                  sleep(3000);
              } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                  e.printStackTrace();
              }

              Intent in = new Intent(ctx,MainActivity.class);
              startActivity(in);
              finish();
          }
      };
      thread.start();
  }
}

Sometime user open the SplashActivity and quit immediately but the app still go to MainActivity after SPLASH_SCREEN_DISPLAY_LENGTH.

For prevent it: In SplashActivity you should check the SplashActivity is finishing or not before move to MainActivity

public class SplashActivity extends Activity {

    private final int SPLASH_SCREEN_DISPLAY_LENGTH = 2000;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
        ...
        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {

                if (!isFinishing()) {//isFinishing(): If the activity is finishing, returns true; else returns false.
                    startActivity(new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class));
                    finish();
                }

            }, SPLASH_SCREEN_DISPLAY_LENGTH);
        }                             
   }                                
}

Hope this help

You can add this in your onCreate Method

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    // going to next activity
                    Intent i=new Intent(SplashScreenActivity.this,MainActivity.class);
                    startActivity(i);
                    finish();
                }
            },time);

And initialize your time value in milliseconds as yo want...

private  static int time=5000;

Simple Code, it works:) Simple splash

int secondsDelayed = 1;
    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            startActivity(new Intent(LoginSuccessFull.this, LoginActivity.class));
            finish();
        }
    }, secondsDelayed * 1500);

Note this solution will not let the user wait more: the delay of the splash screen depends on the start up time of the application.

When you open any android app you will get by default a some what black screen with the title and icon of the app on top, you can change that by using a style/theme.

First, create a style.xml in values folder and add a style to it.

<style name="splashScreenTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/splash_screen</item>
</style>

Instead of using @android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light.NoActionBar you can use any other theme as a parent.

Second, in your app Manifest.xml add android:theme="@style/splashScreenTheme" to your main activity.

<activity
        android:name="MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/splashScreenTheme" >

Third, Update your theme in your onCreate() launch activity.

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Make sure this is before calling super.onCreate
    setTheme(R.style.mainAppTheme);
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

Above all answers are really very good. But there are encounter problem of memory leakage. This issue is often known in the Android community as "Leaking an Activity". Now what exactly does that mean?

When configuration change occurs, such as orientation change, Android destroys the Activity and recreates it. Normally, the Garbage Collector will just clear the allocated memory of the old Activity instance and we're all good.

"Leaking an Activity" refers to the situation where the Garbage Collector cannot clear the allocated memory of the old Activity instance since it's being (strong) referenced from an object that out lived the Activity instance. Every Android app has a specific amount of memory allocated for it. When Garbage Collector cannot free up unused memory, the app's performance will decrease gradually and eventually crash with OutOfMemory error.

How to determine whether the app leaks memory or not? The fastest way is to open the Memory tab in Android Studio and pay attention to allocated memory as you change the orientation. If the allocated memory keeps on increasing and never decreases then you have a memory leak.

1.Memory leak when user change the orientation.

First you need to define the splash screen in your layout resource splashscreen.xml file

Sample Code for splash screen activity.

public class Splash extends Activity {
 // 1. Create a static nested class that extends Runnable to start the main Activity
    private static class StartMainActivityRunnable implements Runnable {
        // 2. Make sure we keep the source Activity as a WeakReference (more on that later)
        private WeakReference mActivity;

        private StartMainActivityRunnable(Activity activity) {
         mActivity = new WeakReference(activity);
        }

        @Override
        public void run() {
         // 3. Check that the reference is valid and execute the code
            if (mActivity.get() != null) {
             Activity activity = mActivity.get();
             Intent mainIntent = new Intent(activity, MainActivity.class);
             activity.startActivity(mainIntent);
             activity.finish();
            }
        }
    }

    /** Duration of wait **/
    private final int SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGTH = 1000;

    // 4. Declare the Handler as a member variable
    private Handler mHandler = new Handler();

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(icicle);
        setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen);

        // 5. Pass a new instance of StartMainActivityRunnable with reference to 'this'.
        mHandler.postDelayed(new StartMainActivityRunnable(this), SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGTH);
    }

    // 6. Override onDestroy()
    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
     // 7. Remove any delayed Runnable(s) and prevent them from executing.
     mHandler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null);

     // 8. Eagerly clear mHandler allocated memory
     mHandler = null;
    }
}
