White color on Splash Screen

Question

I've created a splash screen, and it works pretty fine at first, but after that, it shows me a white blank screen instead of my splash screen image file. I've no idea why that happens.

I tried to change my style.xml parent theme, but some of the themes crash my app, and only Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar works and gives me a blank white screen.

styles.xml

<resources>

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>

Splash.java

public class Splash extends AppCompatActivity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        Thread ssThread = new Thread(){
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    sleep(3000);
                    Intent startMainScreen = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MainActivity.class);
                    startActivity(startMainScreen);
                        finish();
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        };
        ssThread.start();
    }
}

Screen sequence, thread sleep time, and everything else works fine except that the image is not showing.

In your onCreate method, you forgot to add setContentView(R.layout.splash);
