How to create a Splash Screen in Android Studio
Here, we will discuss step by step guide to create a splash screen in Android studio;
1. First, Go to Android Studio and open the recently created project file.
2. Now, you have to create new Android activity - for this, Right click on Java folder > New > Activity > Empty Activity.
3. After that, create a new activity name i.e., SplashActivity then click Finish to create a new splash activity file.
4. Now you will see that both SplashActivity.xml and SplashActivity.java files will be generated automatically in your current project. For now click on the SplashActivity.xml file and select the split option given on the right side.
5. Now, Click on SplashActivity.java and replace all coding starting from import... with new codes!!! Get code;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;
public class SplashActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Window window = getWindow() ;
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);
Thread splashTread = new Thread(){
@Override
public void run() {
try {
sleep(3000);
startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MainActivity.class));
finish();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
super.run();
}
};
splashTread.start();
}
}
6. Come back to the SplashActivity.xml file and replace all the codes given here with the new codes. Get code;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".SplashActivity">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:src="@drawable/logo"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:padding="50dp"
android:layout_marginTop="220dp"/>
<ProgressBar
android:layout_width="220dp"
android:layout_height="10dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:max="100"
android:indeterminate="true"
android:progress="0"
android:layout_marginTop="100dp"
/>
</LinearLayout>
7. Now, its time to upload a image for Splash Screen. For this go to file explorer and select and copy image then come back to Android studio and then right click on drawable > paste.
8. Here choose the destination directory for image and click Ok button.
9. Now, set a name for the splash screen image. Such like logo.jpg then click Ok button.
All right!!! The splash screen image has been successfully set on your Android app.
10. Now, you have to do some minor changes in AndroidManifest.xml. You just have to write MainActivity instead of SplashActivity and write SplashActivity instead of MainActivity. If you face problem in this then you can take help from the image given below;
12. Just click on Play button & overview your splash screen.
Note: Sometimes two icon appears when you create your apk or when you are checking your application. So, to solve this issue you have to follow these steps which are as;
- Firstly open AndroidManifest.xml of your app.
- Now, scroll down. Here, you will see this code.
<intent-filter><action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
- Now, just delete this code.
