Splash Screen in android

Now I am going to explain, how to start your app with splash screen.

1. Create a new project in the Eclipse IDE from File ⇒ Android Application Project and fill all required details. I named my main activity  as MainActivity.java

In MainActivity.java

package com.androidtutorialpoint;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

		int secondsDelayed = 1;
		new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
			public void run() {
				startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, HomePage.class));

				finish();

			}
		}, secondsDelayed * 3000);
	}
}

2. In order to create an View, we need xml layout files.

 Open your activity_main.xml
 In activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" 
    android:background="@drawable/sachintendulkar">

</RelativeLayout>

3. Create a new class in the Eclipse IDE from File ⇒ Class and fill all required details. I named this activity as HomePage.java
 In HomePage.java

package com.androidtutorialpoint;

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

public class HomePage extends Activity {

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.main);
	}

}

4.Create xml file for your HomePage.java, i named it as main.xml,

 In main.xml

<?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" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Welcome"
        android:textSize="30dp" />

</LinearLayout>

Finally add HomePage.java in manifest as

<activity android:name="com.androidtutorialpoint.HomePage"/>

The output Screen will be
