Question

I have created a splash event and have it set to sleep for 3secs. Everything works fine but when you go to exit the application it takes you back to the splash. Is there a way to kill this with the code that I have or do I need to write this in a different manner.

public class splash extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.splash);
    Thread timer =  new Thread(){
        public void run(){
            try{
                sleep(3000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }finally{
                Intent openApp = new Intent("com.iqmobile.chris.IQMOBILEACTIVITY");
                startActivity(openApp);
            }
        }
    };
    timer.start();
}

}

Answer 1

splash.this.finish(); after you start startActivity(openApp);

  Intent openApp = new Intent("com.iqmobile.chris.IQMOBILEACTIVITY");
  startActivity(openApp);

  splash.this.finish();

Second Solution

in AndroidManifest file

<activity android:noHistory="true"
            android:name=".splash" />
