Android Splash Screen

we can make a splash screen in a  very simple way in android. Just create a project with the name AndroidSplshScreen and have  a main activity as Main.java


package com.examples.splashdialog;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;

/** Show the Dialog path to Splash Screen.
 * @author jitesh
 */
public class Main extends Activity {
private class StateSaver {
private boolean showSplashScreen = true;
// Other save state info here...
}
private static final int MAX_SPLASH_SECONDS = 10;
private Dialog splashDialog;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        
        StateSaver data = (StateSaver) getLastNonConfigurationInstance();
        if (data != null) { // "all this has happened before"
        if (data.showSplashScreen ) { // and we didn't already finish
        showSplashScreen();
        }
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        // Do any UI rebuilding here using saved stated
        } else {
        showSplashScreen();
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        // Start any heavy-duty loading here, but on its own thread
        }               
    }
    
    @Override
    public Object onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() {
    StateSaver data = new StateSaver();
    // save important data into this object
   
    if (splashDialog != null) {
    data.showSplashScreen = true;
    removeSplashScreen();
    }
    return data;
    }

private void removeSplashScreen() {
if (splashDialog != null) {
splashDialog.dismiss();
splashDialog = null;
}
}

private void showSplashScreen() {
splashDialog = new Dialog(this);
splashDialog.setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen);
splashDialog.setCancelable(false);
splashDialog.show();

// Start background Handler to cancel it, to be save
final Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
removeSplashScreen();
}
}, MAX_SPLASH_SECONDS * 1000);
}
}
