When user opens any application by clicking on app icon, the app starts with mainactivity.java. and its xml layout is shown to user. I am making a splash screen with simple background color and text. But what my problem is, when it starts it shows a default layout color for a very little fraction of time and then it draws my given color. I do not want default color to be there even for that small fraction of time. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.example.rushi.demon.MainActivity"
android:background="@color/SplashScreen" >

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/SplashScreen"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/SplashScreen">


    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/SplashText"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:text="@string/splash_name"
        android:textColor="@color/SplashText"
        android:textSize="40sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"/>
</RelativeLayout>


</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

The SplashScreen color is shown after a lag and starting default color is shown for little time, which i do not want. I want to open this activity with my set color only from starting.

Add this to your AppTheme (theme of MainActivity) ..

<item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item>

Edit Go to app -> res -> values -> styles.xml open styles.xml there you do this to the theme you have.. 

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
        <item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item> //add this line
    </style>
