Question

I have two classes as Splash.java and Activity2.java!! I have tried simple code for splash as:

public class Splash extends Activity 
{
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.splash);
        Thread thread= new Thread()
        {
            @Override
            public void run() 
            {

                    super.run();
                    startActivity(new Intent(Splash.this,Trial.class));
                    finish();

            }
        };
        thread.start();

    }
}

In my manifest I have given entry also. My code is running without error. Code of R.layout.splash is as:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    >
<ImageView  
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/d"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>

</LinearLayout>

Thanks!!

You’re not really waiting for the splash screen to show. It starts and then you call finish() on it immediately, hence disposing of it.

try something more like:

int showSplashFor = 1500;//ms to show splash screen
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.splash);

  Thread splashScreenTread = new Thread() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
      try {
        int elapsed = 0;
        while(elapsed < showSplashFor)) {
           sleep(100);
           elapsed += 100;
        }
      } catch(InterruptedException e) {
      } finally {
        finish();
        startActivity(new Intent(Splash.this, Trial.class));
        stop();
      }
    }
  };
  splashScreenTread.start();
}

Edit

AndroidManifest.xml
Set the package to com.example and make sure both Splash.java and Trial.java are in that package.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
package="com.example" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0">

Set the intent-filter for borh Activities in AndroidManifest.xml

<activity android:name=".Splash" android:label="@string/app_name">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".Trial">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
