Question

I would like to display an image at the opening of my application Android (Java), is like a toast in full screen only.

Answer 4

You have to create an Activity with this image on the layout.

Then within this activity, create a Thread that will sleep for X seconds. When the Thread slept enough, start a new activity.

This is an example code :

public class SplashActivity extends Activity {

    public StartThread th;

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

        th = new StartThread(this);
        th.start(); 
    }
}

class StartThread extends Thread {
    SplashActivity parentActivity;
    public StartThread(SplashActivity splashActivity) {
        this.parentActivity = splashActivity;
    }
    @Override
    public void run() {
        super.run();        
        try {
            this.sleep(3000);       
        }
        catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        finally {
            Intent menu = new Intent("com.yourpackage.yourapplication.NEXTACTIVITY");
            this.parentActivity.startActivity(menu);
            this.parentActivity.finish();
            this.parentActivity.th = null;
        }
    }
}
