Animation on startup

Question

On my splash screen, i'd like to make a TextView fade in, 5 seconds later to fade out and after it has faded out i'd like it to open a new xml file. Can someone help me out? I'm kinda new to coding so maybe a bit of code would be fantastic! Kind regards!

Try this in oncreate() :

     //First start animation for fadein
    Animation animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this,R.anim.abc_fade_in);
    yourtextView.startAnimation(animation);

    // The thread to wait for 5 seconds
    mSplashThread =  new Thread(){
        @Override
        public void run(){
            try {
                 Thread.sleep(5000);
            }
            catch(InterruptedException ex){                    
            } finally{
            //start animation for fadeout after 5 seconds
            Animation animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(YourClass.this,R.anim.abc_fade_out);
            yourtextView.startAnimation(animation);
            //Start next activity
            Intent intent = new Intent(YourClass.this,MainActivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);  
            }     
        }
    };
    mSplashThread.start();
