Display image before launching an activity -

i need show logo of application before starts 3 seconds , release activity

firstly, need xml layout file hold whatever display on splash screen - example image. how layout splash screen looks , points image made in photoshop.

splash.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <linearlayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:scaletype="centerinside" android:background="@drawable/vtevents"> </linearlayout> 

you need put image want project folder (maybe like: projectname\app\src\main\res\drawable . it's best if image .png format , name must not have capital letters in it. name image splash_image.png

this how implement splash screen. need provide activity going start after in variable mainactivityname class requires 2 imports:

import android.app.activity;

import android.content.intent;

public class splashactivity extends activity { // splash activity  private string mainactivityname = "com.example.mainactivity"; // first activity after splash screen    @override protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {     super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);       setcontentview(r.layout.splash);              thread logotimer = new thread() {                 public void run() {                     try {                         sleep(2500);                         intent mainintent = new intent(mainactivityname);                         startactivity(mainintent);                     } catch (interruptedexception e) {                         e.printstacktrace();                     } {                          finish();                     }                 }              };             logotimer.start(); } } 

sleep(2500) tells thread wait 2500ms (2.5seconds) until next activity launched. edit liking.
