Question

I created a splash screen using the follow code:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.setContentView(R.layout.splash_layout);

    Thread splashThread = new Thread() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                int waited = 0;
                while (_active && (waited < _splashTime)) {
                    sleep(100);
                    if (_active) {
                        waited += 100;
                    }
                }
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                // do nothing
            } finally {
                _active = false;
                finish();
                startActivity(new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MyMainActivity.class));
            }
        }
    };

    splashThread.start();
}

there is an image view in splash_layout, after the splash screen appears for some time duration, and disappears then MyMainActivity starts, the problem is, after the splash disappears and before MyMainActivity starts, I could see previous screen(irrelevant to my app, e.g. desktop with widgets, or previous running app), how to make the transition fluent so that splash screen directly goes to MyMainActivity?

Thanks!
