Android splash screen while loading MainActivity [duplicate] - android

How do I make a splash screen? [closed]

Closed 8 years ago.
So, I just read this question: How do I make a splash screen?
But instead of adding a fixed delay (like in the top answer), I wanted to keep the splash screen on while the MainActivity (with a MapFragment) loads.
public class SplashScreen extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);
Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Intent i = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
synchronized (this) {
try {
wait(3000);
System.out.println("Thread waited for 3 seconds");
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
});
try {
t.start();
t.join();
finish();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I added the wait(3000) line, because I noticed before that the thread didn't live for long. However, if I make it wait for longer, there's just a black screen that lasts longer. For some reason, the SplashScreen activity won't show the ImageView.
What should I do?
Thanks.

Easy way to do it..
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.example.tabs.R;
public class Splash extends Activity implements Runnable
{
Thread mThread;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.splash);
mThread = new Thread(this);
mThread.start();
}
#Override
public void run()
{
try
{
Thread.sleep(2000);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
startActivity(new Intent(Splash.this, MainActivity.class));
finish();
}
}
}
splash.xml if you want to show a image
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/splash" >
</LinearLayout>
Note if you want to do some UI operation in splash .Then you have to create a handler and update UI in it.

The main thread cannot be blocked for a long time. You should use Handler to trigger another event if you want to start another event in 3 seconds. You can use sendMessageDelayed. In addition, startActivity should be called in main thread.

make a splash screen like this:
while(counter < 1300) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
}catch(InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
counter+=100;
}
Intent intent = new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
Hope it helps!
EDIT:
Anotehr way to make a splash would be like this:
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), YourNextActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
},3000); -> the splash will show for 3000 ms, you can reduce this.

White color on Splash Screen

I've created a splash screen, and it works pretty fine at first, but after that, it shows me a white blank screen instead of my splash screen image file. I've no idea why that happens.
I tried to change my style.xml parent theme, but some of the themes crash my app, and only Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar works and gives me a blank white screen.
styles.xml
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
Splash.java
public class Splash extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Thread ssThread = new Thread(){
#Override
public void run() {
try {
sleep(3000);
Intent startMainScreen = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MainActivity.class);
startActivity(startMainScreen);
finish();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
ssThread.start();
}
}
Screen sequence, thread sleep time, and everything else works fine except that the image is not showing.
In your onCreate method, you forgot to add setContentView(R.layout.splash);
You need to add setContentView to your onCreate method.
public class Splash extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
/*
*add setContentView here after super.onCreate( )
*/
setContentView( R.layout.splash_layout);
Thread ssThread = new Thread(){
#Override
public void run() {
try {
sleep(3000);
Intent startMainScreen = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MainActivity.class);
startActivity(startMainScreen);
finish();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
ssThread.start();
}
}
YOU MISSING setContentView(R.layout.YOUR_XML_NAME);
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.xxxx);
/****** Create Thread that will sleep for 3 seconds *************/
Thread background = new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
// Thread will sleep for 3 seconds
sleep(3*1000);
// After 5 seconds redirect to another intent
Intent startMainScreen = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MainActivity.class);
startActivity(startMainScreen);
//Remove activity
finish();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
};
// start thread
background.start();
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
}
instead of using thread and sleep function use Handler , and do some thing like this :
setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen);
int interval = 3000; // 3 second
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Intent intent = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
}, interval);
You have to set Layout in onCreate method of Splash activity like:
setContentView(R.layout.splash);

MainActivity starts before SplashScreen ends

I have a SplashScreen activity at my android app that lasts for 3 seconds, and then it switches to MainActivity.
MainActivity plays a sound, and it has a button. My problem is that the sound plays when the SplashScreen activity is visible.
onResume at MainActivity calls for run(), run() sleeps for 2 seconds and plays the sound.
public void run() {
try {
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
m.start();
try {
Thread.sleep((int) randomValue * 1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
m.seekTo(0);
m.start();
cpu.setText(EranThatWillShortYourDouble(randomValue));
btn.setClickable(true);
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
run();
}
Instead of SplashScreen displaying for 3 seconds and switches to MainAcivity, It lasts 5 seconds and plays the sound when SplashScreen is visible.
What do I do?
EDIT: This is my SplashScreen activity:
public class SplashScreen extends Activity {
private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 3000;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash_screen);
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
/*
* Showing splash screen with a timer. This will be useful when you
* want to show case your app logo / company
*/
#Override
public void run() {
// This method will be executed once the timer is over
// Start your app main activity
Intent i = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
// close this activity
finish();
}
}, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);
}
}
Please take a look at AsyncTasks, Android Runnables and the ability to use a Handler to postDelayed.
Don't do thread.sleep in the main thread, it's really bad. :)
Do not use splash screens in Android. They are against the design guidelines and provide a poor UX.

Intro of loading screen

At the app I'm developing, I'm interested in an intro of a loading screen. Which automatically move to the next screen after a duration.
The intro itself, is working just fine. As well as the thread who delaying the system.
My problem is to make them work together.
The code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
ImageView iv;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.loading_screen);
final Thread t1=new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
iv=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgBtn1);
iv.setBackgroundResource(R.anim.loading_i_animation);
AnimationDrawable anim=(AnimationDrawable) iv.getBackground();
anim.start();
}
});
t1.start();
try {
Thread.sleep(2000);
finish();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
Intent st=new Intent(MainActivity.this,Welcome.class);
startActivity(st);
}
}
The result of this code is opening a white screen for the thread sleep-time duration. and after that open the "Welcome.class" screen via the intent.
It's just skipping the loading_screen, as is wasn't even exist.
I hope you guys could please help my with that.
You put your sleep on the UI thread which prevents Android to show anything until it finishes. Try the following code:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.loading_screen);
iv=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgBtn1);
iv.setBackgroundResource(R.anim.loading_i_animation);
AnimationDrawable anim=(AnimationDrawable) iv.getBackground();
anim.start();
new Handler().postDelayed(
new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Intent st=new Intent(MainActivity.this,Welcome.class);
startActivity(st);
finish();
}
}, 2000);
}
This way the delay will run on a separated thread, but after 2 seconds it changes back to the main thread and runs the code you specified in your Runnable

White screen before splashscreen

I have an issue with my SplashScreenActivity, when I start my application on my phone it shows a white screen for about 0,5 seconds. The MainActitivy extends FragmentActivity and in the AndroidManifest I declare the SplashScreenActivity as launcher and portrait mode as screenOrientation.
The code:
public class SplashScreenActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen);
randomSplash();
Thread splashscreen = new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
Intent mainScreen = new Intent("com.rm.jkrm.MAINACTIVITY");
startActivity(mainScreen);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
} finally {
finish();
}
}
};
splashscreen.start();
}
private void randomSplash(){
Random random = new Random();
int i = random.nextInt(4);
LinearLayout ln = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.splashscreen);
switch(i){
case 1:
ln.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.splash1);
break;
case 2:
ln.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.splash2);
break;
case 3:
ln.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.splash3);
break;
default:
ln.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.splash0);
break;
}
}
}
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/splashscreen"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
</LinearLayout>
Thread splashscreen = new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
Intent mainScreen = new Intent("com.rm.jkrm.MAINACTIVITY");
startActivity(mainScreen);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
} finally {
finish();
}
}
};
splashscreen.start();
this is your problem UI thread to sleep not a very good idea use handler instead
and I think it may cause an exception too.
Handler h=new Handler();
h.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
startActivity(new Intent(Splash_Activity.this,Main_Activity.class));
finish();
}
}, 2000);
}
You need to run this two actions in an AsyncTask:
setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen);
randomSplash();
put the setContentView in the doInBackground-method and in the postExecute method you run randomSplash.
Change SplashActivity theme in the AndroidManifest.xml file to this.
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"

Splash screen: using handler

Am I doing it right?
I have a Splash screen (just an image), and onCreate() I start the main activity after running a heavy function:
SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGHT=2500;
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
LONG_OPERATING_FUNCTION();
Intent mainIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
Splash.this.startActivity(mainIntent);
Splash.this.finish();
}
}, SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGHT);
I think I have a memory leak, and I'm trying to find it.
I don't think the Splash really is finishing.
LONG_OPERATING_FUNCTION() should not be done on the main application thread, as you have it here.
Ideally, you do not use a splash screen, but rather only enable selected features of MainActivity while do your LONG_OPERATING_FUNCTION() in an AsyncTask or something.
If somebody is pointing a gun at your head and forcing you to implement a splash screen lest it be your brains that get, er, splashed, I would do this:
Eliminate your Handler and postDelayed() call
Replace that with an AsyncTask
In doInBackground() of AsyncTask, do your LONG_OPERATING_FUNCTION()
If, when LONG_OPERATING_FUNCTION() is done, SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGHT [sic] time has not elapsed, use SystemClock.sleep() to sleep for the remaining time (or not)
In onPostExecute(), start MainActivity and call finish()
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
openingSound = MediaPlayer.create(Splash.this, R.raw.applause);
openingSound.start();
setContentView(R.layout.firstanimal);
Thread timer = new Thread(){
public void run(){
try{
sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
Intent openingSplash = new Intent("com.softech.LearnAnimal1.STARTINGPOINT");
startActivity(openingSplash);
}
}
};
timer.start();
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPause();
openingSound.release();
finish();
}
This is a complete java code in this u'll have openingSound with 5 seconds break and then u it'll move on your menu or second activity but remeber one thing u also have to put activity with intent filters in your manifest :)
Enjoy :)
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
getApplicationContext().startActivity(intent);
通过使用getApplicationContext()的context就不会内存溢出;
public class RunnableActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
System.out.println("RunnableActivity onCreate");
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mHandler.postDelayed(mRunnable, 3000);
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
System.out.println("RunnableActivity onResume");
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
System.out.println("RunnableActivity onPause");
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
System.out.println("RunnableActivity onDestroy");
}
private Handler mHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
private Runnable mRunnable = new Runnable() {
private WeakReference<Activity> weak = new WeakReference<Activity>(RunnableActivity.this);
#Override
public void run() {
Activity a = weak.get();
if (a != null) {
Intent intent = new Intent(a.getApplicationContext(), AActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
a.getApplicationContext().startActivity(intent);
a.finish();
}
}
};}
