Splash Screen In-App Using Java And Kotlin
Why we need splash screen in app?
The android application takes some time to start especially when it loads for the first time on a device so after splash screen application will load suddenly. It is also used to build your brand by displaying using the logo at starting by which new customers will come to know about your company. It also builds loyalty and trust between the user and the owner. If you are fetching data from the database and it will take some time then you can set splash screen for four to five seconds. But if you are not fetching huge data then you can use a splash screen for 2 seconds.
Now, we will see how to add splash screen in app using Java and Kotlin in Android Studio.
01. Splash Screen Using Java
First, create new layout as you can see in below image. Layout -> right click -> New -> Activity – > Empty Activity.
Give name for that layout.
Now you need to add code in activity_splash.xml, SplashActivity.java, and AndroidManifest.xml.
In SplashActivity.java
package com.example.cselectricalandelectronics;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
/*written by chetan shidling
*/
public class SplashActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Handler mHandler;
private Runnable mRunnable;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);
mRunnable=new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class));
}
};
mHandler=new Handler();
mHandler.postDelayed(mRunnable, 2000);
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if(mHandler!=null && mRunnable!=null)
mHandler.removeCallbacks(mRunnable);
}
}
In layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".SplashActivity">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="201dp"
android:layout_height="211dp"
android:layout_marginStart="105dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="105dp"
android:layout_marginTop="230dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="105dp"
android:layout_marginRight="105dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="290dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:srcCompat="@mipmap/ic_launcher_foreground" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="377dp"
android:layout_height="370dp"
android:layout_below="@id/imageView2"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginStart="25dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
android:layout_marginTop="-282dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="9dp"
android:layout_marginRight="9dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="203dp"
android:text="CS Electrical And Electronics"
android:textSize="28sp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1.0"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/imageView2"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.218" />
</RelativeLayout>
In AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.cselectricalandelectronics">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".SplashActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"></activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Now you run the code and it will show you splash screen.
02. Splash Screen Using Kotlin
Create new layout and give name.
In SplashActivity.kt
package com.webianks.bluechat
import android.content.Intent
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Handler
import android.os.Bundle
/* Written by Chetan Shidling */
class ActivitySplash : AppCompatActivity() {
private var mDelayHandler: Handler? = null
private val SPLASH_DELAY: Long = 4000 //3 seconds
internal val mRunnable: Runnable = Runnable {
if (!isFinishing) {
val intent = Intent(applicationContext, MainActivity::class.java)
startActivity(intent)
finish()
}
}
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash)
//Initialize the Handler
mDelayHandler = Handler()
//Navigate with delay
mDelayHandler!!.postDelayed(mRunnable, SPLASH_DELAY)
}
public override fun onDestroy() {
if (mDelayHandler != null) {
mDelayHandler!!.removeCallbacks(mRunnable)
}
super.onDestroy()
}
}
In Layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".ActivitySplash">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="201dp"
android:layout_height="197dp"
android:layout_marginStart="105dp"
android:layout_marginTop="256dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="105dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="278dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:srcCompat="@mipmap/ic_launcher_foreground" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="160dp"
android:layout_height="99dp"
android:layout_marginStart="125dp"
android:layout_marginTop="480dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="126dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="152dp"
android:text="CasStyles"
android:textSize="36sp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
In AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.webianks.bluechat">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="CasStyles"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".ActivitySplash">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity" />
</application>
</manifest>
