             timer = new Timer();

            timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {

                }

                private void goToLayout1() {

I suggest you should have two activity.First activity is for showing splash screen.You can finish this after 3 seconds and start another activity that is activity with the layout actitiy_main2.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Runnable runnable=new Runnable(){
    public void run(){
    finish();
    //start main activity
      }
    };
  Handler handler=new Handler();
  handler.postDelayed(runnable,3000);
}

you are attempting to modify the UI thread from a non-UI thread (a simple java timer) so please, take care of it and read this Update UI from Thread. Then please, post the exception!
