  • Please post some code you have tried, and explain why it doesn't do what you want. You also need to clarify your question (a lot). What do you mean by a "short time"? How long? Why do you want to do this: are you creating a splash screen while data loads? – James_D Oct 02 '15 at 14:42
  • i meant several seconds appear i will specefic the time,i want to do this cuz i have a simple idea to make a presentation for my app,such as photoshop when it begin starting the first window appear about them logo and etc. such as window for display welcome – Fadi Fodoy Oct 02 '15 at 14:58
  • It looks like you want something like [preloader](http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/preloaders.htm), that does nothing except showing up for a set period of time. – Manik Oct 02 '15 at 15:31
  • Usually a splash screen, which is what you are describing, serves a purpose: it is displayed while startup processes are happening in the background. If you don't have any startup processes, you should not use a splash screen (it is an unnecessary delay). If you do have startup processes, your question is much more complex. Again, please show your existing code. – James_D Oct 02 '15 at 15:56
  • Maybe see the answer to this (seemingly?) related question: [How to use javaFX Preloader with stand-alone application in Eclipse?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15126210/how-to-use-javafx-preloader-with-stand-alone-application-in-eclipse). Even though the question talks about pre loaders, there are other ways mentioned in the answer to achieve similar functionality (e.g. just creating a JavaFX stage like [this sample](https://gist.github.com/jewelsea/2305098)), or by using the `-splash:` command line switch. – jewelsea Oct 02 '15 at 18:35
  • am beginner in javafx and in stackOverFlow but am i don't need to do any proesses in background it is just logo for example " welcome to this app" – Fadi Fodoy Oct 02 '15 at 22:28
  • when am run my app ... i want to pop up the window that hold this statment " welcome" for 5 second then it will hide and go to my main window(scene) am using Fxml application nd scene builder – Fadi Fodoy Oct 02 '15 at 22:33
  • We provided you links to research. Custom stages and preloaders can do the job even though it will delay startup without any reason. Show us your code/research. What did you try? – Manik Oct 03 '15 at 00:23

package x;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.application.Platform;
import javafx.concurrent.Task;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class AutoHideExmpl extends Application {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
}

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    VBox v = new VBox();
    TextField fiiled = new TextField("asdasdf");
    TextField d = new TextField("asdfasdf");
    TextField gd = new TextField("asdf");
    TextField da = new TextField("asdf");
    TextField cd = new TextField("asdf");
    v.getChildren().addAll(fiiled, d, gd, da, cd);
    v.setMinSize(500, 500);
    Scene c = new Scene(v);
    primaryStage.setScene(c);
    primaryStage.show();

    Stage s1 = new Stage();
    VBox v1 = new VBox();
    TextField fiiled1 = new TextField("asdasdf");
    TextField d1 = new TextField("asdfasdf");
    TextField gd1 = new TextField("asdf");
    TextField da1 = new TextField("asdf");
    TextField cd1 = new TextField("asdf");
    v1.getChildren().addAll(fiiled1, d1, gd1, da1, cd1);
    v1.setMinSize(300, 300);
    Scene c1 = new Scene(v1);
    s1.setScene(c1);
    s1.show();
    Task t = new Task<Void>() {

        @Override
        protected Void call() throws Exception {
            Thread.sleep(60000);
            Platform.runLater(() -> {
                s1.close();
            });
            System.out.println("hidding");
            return null;
        }
    };
    Thread ts = new Thread(t);
    ts.start();
  }
}

you can user this too

Thread ts = new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                Thread.sleep(60000);
                Platform.runLater(() -> {
                    s1.close();
                });
                System.out.println("hidding");
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    });
    ts.start();

i hope this will help you if any ? write comment
