Fade_in effect stopped working after changing theme to NoTitleBar (in manifest)

Question

I am designing a splash screen for my app which I'm working on from last 1 month. i have added an image in an xml file and applied a fade_in effect to it using fade_in.xml .. but one strange thing i noticed is that fade_in works perfectly when using the AppTheme but stops working when i changed the theme to NoTitleBar using the below line of code:

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"

(Inside the Manifest.xml)

I need to put this in the manifest...can't remove it ...Any solution will be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Replace it with

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

OR

Use the app theme and change the code to

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    getActionBar().hide();

OR use below code for reference

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;

public class Splash extends Activity {

	@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
				WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
		this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.splash);
		Thread loading = new Thread() {
			public void run() {
				try {
					sleep(1000);
					startActivity(new Intent(Splash.this, MainActivity.class));
				}
				catch (Exception e) {
					e.printStackTrace();
				}
				finally {
					finish();
				}
			}
		};
		loading.start();
	}
}
