Open Splash activity once

Question

I am opening splash activity once, this is what i have done.

public class StartupActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        SharedPreferences settings = PreferenceManager
                .getDefaultSharedPreferences(StartupActivity.this);
        String lang = settings.getString("opened", "");
        if(opened.equals("1")
        {
        Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), SecondActivity.class);
        startActivity(i);
        finish();
        }else { //I am setting here  opened to 1 
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);} 
}

Where does the problem lie? When I open the app first time, this activity shows setcontentview activity main, but second time user opens app it goes to secondactivity .But the problem is , for couple of milliseconds the second time i open the app it is making it obvious that splash activity is opening then closing for couple of milliseconds.

After you opened the splash activity You didn't set the value as 1. `putString` — Viswanath Lekshmanan, Mar 24 '16 at 04:43
You're launching the `Activity`; that's why it's showing. The `Activity`'s window is still going to load, even if you don't call `setContentView()`. — Mike M., Mar 24 '16 at 04:46
Your screen will splash at anycost. Because it is the launcher activity in your application. Try to call super after checking prefereences . May reduce a millisecond. Note: In slower devices your application will show a black screen for some seconds — Viswanath Lekshmanan, Mar 24 '16 at 04:48
You could create an `Activity` with a `NoDisplay` theme as the launch `Activity`, and decide in its `onCreate()` whether to start `StartupActivity` or `SecondActivity`. — Mike M., Mar 24 '16 at 04:50
@user3278732 even though you mentioned that you set value for "opened" but there is still high chance that you missed something there. can you put code for it. I just want to make sure you use apply() or commit() — Vilen, Mar 24 '16 at 05:39

I believe your splash is the launcher activity of your application and what you are trying to do is , once you have launched the splash and passed the value to second activity then splash shouldn't show . I saw a similar question long ago , check if it answers it

App restarts rather than resumes
