Android: Perfect Way to Create Splash Screen
Splash Screen is often referred to a welcome screen or user’s first experience of an application. There are many ways for creating a Splash Screen for an Android Application.
In this post I will share the right way of generating a Splash Screen. By using this way the user will not have to wait longer, there will not be a white Screen Flash when the App launches.
So let’s begin :

import android.content.Intent;

public class SplashScreenActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash_screen);
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
