Hi !

I have been into java programming before staring with Android , especially coding UI port of App using XML.

I am trying to build a app , such that when a user selects my app on phone a splash screen should come first ,(e.g:-ABC.png).
How to achieve that when my app starts ??

as well as could you please guide me how to quickly grab the UI part of app , books, links ,videos etc ??

Thanks

Hi Vibhor,

make an Activity which displays your splash-screen the DEFAULT one. startActivity() from your splash-screen Activity when needed (upon animation end, timeout etc).
I've implemented it by this way and it works and looks fine.

You can make an activity showing your splash image for few seconds & after that it start another activity via intent. Below is an example -

Make SplashScreen activity your main activity in manifest so that it is showed first when app is launched.
