I guess you're clicking on the resource folders. You should be clicking on the app>src>com.yourpackagename. — SripadRaj, Jul 12 '17 at 13:52

You can do it like this:

Then set the new activity as the launcher activity and using a handler, set the next activity after a delay:

 new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            Intent nextIntent = new Intent(mContext, HomeActivity.class);
            startActivity(nextIntent);
            finish();
        }
    }, 1000); //1000ms = 1second

@DominicGozza so while you are in android studio, just click on file in the top left of the screen then click new -> Activity -> Empty Activity, then you will have added a new activity to your project, just like your question asks – MichaelStoddart Jul 12 '17 at 14:11
@DominicGozza in your project structure pane down the left hand side of android studio, click on the "app" file, then follow the instructions above – MichaelStoddart Jul 12 '17 at 14:13
Check picture 1 above! please! – Dominic Gozza Jul 12 '17 at 14:14
@DominicGozza check the comment above – MichaelStoddart Jul 12 '17 at 14:15
Sorry. I meant picture 1 not 2. – Dominic Gozza Jul 12 '17 at 14:18
@DominicGozza you still haven't followed my instructions, select the "app" folder, then go to file -> new -> Activity -> Empty Activity – MichaelStoddart Jul 12 '17 at 14:19
Sorry but even then the new>Activity>Empty Activity still does not appear. – Dominic Gozza Jul 12 '17 at 14:22
@DominicGozza restart android studio – MichaelStoddart Jul 12 '17 at 14:24

Just create a class in some of your package, create a layout file for that and add it to mainfest under application tag with tag and you can get the Splash type functionality in following way:

public class SplashActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private static final long SPLASH_SCREEN_DELAY = 2000;

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

    CountDownTimer countDownTimer = new CountDownTimer(SPLASH_SCREEN_DELAY, 1000) {
        @Override
        public void onTick(long l) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onFinish() {

            User user = GeneralUtils.getRegisteredUser(SplashActivity.this);
            if (user == null || user.getUserId() == null) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(SplashActivity.this, WalkThroughActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent);
            } else {
                Intent intent = new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent);
            }

            SplashActivity.this.finish();

        }
    };

    countDownTimer.start();
}

}
