timer java start activity

Question

I am implementing a splash screen as per the tutorial here, however the splash screen disappears very quickly almost instantly. What would be the best way to include a timer to only start the new activity after for example 1 second. My Splash screen Activity file looks as follows:

    public class SplashActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);
        finish();
    }
}

The approach relies on a drawable and style resource.

You can use `handler.postDelayed` and in it set a timeout which you want and call a method to start a new activity. Basically the answer given below :D — Vucko, Jun 30 '16 at 11:12

The simplest way would be to use Handler:

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);
            finish();
        }
    }, DateUtils.SECOND_IN_MILLIS);

Code for Splash :-

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.WindowManager;

public class Splash extends AppCompatActivity {
    // Splash screen timer

    private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 3000;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.splash_activity);

        // Showing splash screen with a timer.
        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                // Start your application main_activity
                Intent i = new Intent(Splash.this, MainActivity.class);
                startActivity(i);

                // Close this activity
                finish();
            }
        }, SPLASH_TIME_OUT); // Timer
    }
}

public class SplahActivity extends Activity {

    public static final int Tick = 1000;
    public static final int Complete = 5000;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);

        new CountDownTimer(Complete, Tick) {

            public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
            }

            public void onFinish() {
                //start Activity
               Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
               startActivity(intent);
               finish();
            }
        }.start();
    }

Use this

timerHandler = new Handler();
getmi_runnable = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
    Intent intent = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
    startActivity(intent);
    finish();
  }
};
timerHandler.postDelayed(getmi_runnable, 4000L);

timer java start activity
