Having Trouble with my Splash Screen

Question

So I just started to set up a splash screen that would show for 5 seconds and then go to my main menu. I think I labeled something wrong in the process and now my app is force c

Answer 1

In your thread, try changing:

 Intent DragonFruitActivityIntent = new Intent("main");

to:

 Intent DragonFruitActivityIntent = new Intent(DragonFruitActivity.this, NameOfActivityToStart.class);

Alternatively, if you want to change the layout rather than starting a new activity, remove:

Intent DragonFruitActivityIntent = new Intent("main");
startActivity(DragonFruitActivityIntent);

and instead write:

DragonFruitActivity.this.setContentView(R.layout.main);

Incidentally, it would be better if rather than sleeping for 5 seconds, the thread did something useful like load some data for your app - otherwise it's just slowing down access to your app for no reason.

Edit: Try moving all your code from onCreate() to onStart(), so it's like this:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
   getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
      WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);        
   setContentView(R.layout.splash);
}

@Override
public void onStart() {
   super.onStart()
   Thread logoTimer = new Thread() {
   ... // the rest of your code here
}

You may be experiencing problems accessing the UI before it's fully formed.

Answer 2

As your log cat suggests..

at com.Dragon_Fruit.DragonFruitActivity.onCreate(DragonFruitActivity.java:44)

There's some problem in your DragonFruitActivity file. On line 44 inside OnCreate callback..

I guess removing that can solve the issue of NullpointerException.
