Display SplashScreen using Timer

Question

I want to show a splashScreen on my app firstly for few seconds and then load all my threads data using timer in java, then how should i do it.

in main method, you need to create a borderless JFrame, that shows your splash screen, then sleep for some second and rest of the work — , Jul 07 '13 at 13:58
Use the `SplashScreen` class as discussed [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/6401999/418556). — Andrew Thompson, Jul 07 '13 at 14:01

Add Splash Screen Activity to your Project... now replace the SplashScree.java file code as :

    package samples.splash.screen;

    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.os.Handler;

    /**
     * Splash screen activity
     *
     * @author Catalin Prata
     */
    public class SplashScreen extends Activity {

        // used to know if the back button was pressed in the splash screen activity and avoid opening the next activity
        private boolean mIsBackButtonPressed;
        private static final int SPLASH_DURATION = 2000; // 2 seconds


        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

            setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen);

            Handler handler = new Handler();

            // run a thread after 2 seconds to start the home screen
            handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {

                    // make sure we close the splash screen so the user won't come back when it presses back key

                    finish();

                    if (!mIsBackButtonPressed) {
                        // start the home screen if the back button wasn't pressed already 
                        Intent intent = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, Home.class);
                        SplashScreen.this.startActivity(intent);
                   }

                }

            }, SPLASH_DURATION); // time in milliseconds (1 second = 1000 milliseconds) until the run() method will be called

        }

        @Override
       public void onBackPressed() {

            // set the flag to true so the next activity won't start up
            mIsBackButtonPressed = true;
            super.onBackPressed();

        }

}

And the splash_screen xml looks like this: where you should have any image in your drawables named : "splash_screen"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"
              android:background="@drawable/splash_screen"/>

Now make your Splash Screen a Launcher Activity in Manifest File to make it a startup Activity.. And in order to get the title bar of the application down, just add he activity in your manifest and add the theme as you can see below:

<activity android:name=".SplashScreen" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN">
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER">
            </category></action></intent-filter>
        </activity>

Who said this was for Android? – Andrew Thompson Jul 07 '13 at 14:01 — Andrew Thompson, Jul 07 '13 at 14:01
