How to implement Splash Screen in Android, In this tutorial we are going to learn how to add splash screen in an android application. Android splash screen is normally used to show the user some kind of progress before the app loads completely. People use splash screen just to show their app/company logo for a couple of seconds.
An Android app takes some time to start up, especially when the app is first launched on a device. A splash screen may display startup progress to the user or to indicate branding.
I’m taking a simple image and text for displaying on the splash screen.
Table of Contents
Create SplashScreen Project
- Create a new project in Android Studio by navigating to File => New => New Project Application Project and fill required details. (I kept my main activity name as MainActivity.java)
- For welcome Screen, we are creating a separate activity.
Create a layout file for the splash screen
This layout normally contains your app logo or company logo or some text.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/splashbackground" >
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/Logo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:src="@drawable/logo" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:textSize="12dp"
android:textColor="#454545"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:text="www.techjunkgigs.com" />
</RelativeLayout>
Code For Splash Screen
The following code for MainActivity.java activity.
package com.example.jamaley.myapplication;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private static int TIME_OUT = 5000;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, welcome.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
}, TIME_OUT);
}
}
public void run()
{
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, welcome.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
This method will be executed once the timer is over and start your app welcome screen activity
after that is finish the previous activity
Android Manifest File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.jamaley.myapplication">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<!-- Splash screen -->
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<!-- Welcome activity -->
<activity android:name=".welcome"></activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Run the application, you will see the splash screen for 5 sec and then your welcome screen activity will be launched.
