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

</manifest>

I’m including the SplashActivity.java (I am using ActionBarSherlock):

package com.app.android;

import com.app.android.R;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;

import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockActivity;

public class SplashActivity extends SherlockActivity{
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);
        getSupportActionBar().hide();
        Thread timerSplash = new Thread(){
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try{
                    int i = 0;
                    while(i < 1000){
                        i+=100;
                        sleep(100);
                    }
                    startActivity(new Intent("com.app.android.MainActivity"));
                }catch(Exception ex){
                }finally{
                    finish();
                }
            }
        };
        timerSplash.start();
    }
}

What I am facing is that my MainActivity is getting Launched before SplashActivity.
Also a warning is generated at MainActivity activity node in AndroidManifest.xml : “Exported activity does not require permission”

Can any one say what is happening?

Answer 1

In Manifast.xml:

<activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_main"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.StyledCustom" >
        </activity>

And Class as Below

public class SplashActivity extends SherlockActivity{
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);
        getSupportActionBar().hide();
        Thread timerSplash = new Thread(){
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try{
                    int i = 0;
                    while(i < 1000){
                        i+=100;
                        sleep(100);
                    }
                   Intent intent = new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
                   startActivity(intent);
                }catch(Exception ex){
                }finally{
                    finish();
                }
            }
        };
        timerSplash.start();
    }
}
