Question

I would like to implement a SplashScreen in my app. I found the best and easiest way is to launch an activity that shows a layout with an image view at the launch of the app and then adding android:noHistory=”true” attribute to the manifest.
Now, how do I set the splashscreen activity to launch the MainActivity class after a certain amount of time? Lets say 2 seconds?

This is my splashscreen activity

public class SplashActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen);
}
}

use

handler.postDelayed(runnable, delayinmilliseconds(2000 in your case));

final Runnable runnable = new Runnable()
{
    public void run() 
    {
       //start the new activity here.
    }
};
