How to implement Android Splash Screen

Splash Screens are upcoming trend to showcase you app logo and further information. Android officially does not have any builtin mechanism to show a splash screen as IOS do. Today we are gonna learn how to add a splash screen for you android app. 

Please follow the below steps:

• Create your android project and rename your MainActivity to SplashScreen and finish building your project.
• Add one more Activity to your project namely MainActivity .
• Now simply copy and paste the below code to your SplashScreen.java class.

 import android.app.Activity;  
 import android.content.Intent;  
 import android.os.Bundle;  
 import android.os.Handler;  
 public class SplashScreen extends Activity {  
   // Splash screen timer  
   private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 2500;  
   @Override  
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
     setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);  
     new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {  
         
       @Override  
       public void run() {  
         // This method will be triggered once the timer is over  
         // Start your app MainActivity  
         Intent i = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class);  
         startActivity(i);  
         // close this activity  
         finish();  
       }  
     }, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);  
   }  
 }  

• Now u may make changes to res ⇒ layout ⇒ activity_splashscreen.xml to meet your requirement.

That's all, now when ever you open your app a splash screen will be show for 2.5 seconds.
