Android app start up animation

Question

i just need to know how is it possible to create a start-up animation in your app. When the app is launched I would like it to go through custom animation and then it reaches the content of the app (main activity) ...

Thanks for all your help

Answer 1

If you really want a "startup" screen, just load up another activity before the MainActivity and display that screen for x amount of time:

public class SplashScreen extends Activity {

    // Splash screen timer
    private static int TIME_OUT = 5000;

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

        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                Intent i = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class);
                startActivity(i);
                finish();
            }
        }, TIME_OUT);
    }

}
