In this article, we will see how to create a Splash Screen in Android Studio using Kotlin Language.
What is Splash Screen?
A splash screen is a graphical control element that consists of a window with an image, a logo, or any widget. While a game or any app is being launched, a splash screen may appear. A splash screen is a screen that contains the introduction an app or website.
Implementation:
Create a new Project in android studio.
Go to File > New > New Project > Empty Activity > Next > Enter Name > Select Language Kotlin > Finish |
Go to activity_splash.xml file and add the following code
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" <ImageView </LinearLayout> |
Open SplashActivity.kt file and hide the action bar or status bar line by adding the following code
window.setFlags( |
this code will help you to make the splash activity fullscreen.
Add Handler method to the SplashActivity.kt file for persist the screen for particular time (Add below setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash)).
Handler().postDelayed({ |
Create a new empty activity name HomeActivity,kt file
app > java > package name > right-click > New > Activity /Empty Activity > enter name(HomeActivity.kt) > Finish. |
Open activity_home.xml file and add following code.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" <TextView </LinearLayout>
|
Now run the code in your emulator or device, you will get the following output.
Complete Source code of Splash Screen Example:
activity_splash.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ImageView </LinearLayout> |
SplashActivity.kt file
import android.content.Intent class SplashActivity : AppCompatActivity() { |
activity_home.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TextView </LinearLayout> |
Conclusion: We have covered how to design and implement splash screen in Android using kotlin language.
SplashActivity.kt file
import android.content.Intent import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity import android.os.Bundle import android.os.Handler import android.view.Window import android.view.WindowManager import com.nishajain.kotinexamples.R class SplashActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE) window.setFlags( WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); supportActionBar?.hide() setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash) Handler().postDelayed({ startActivity(Intent(this, HomeActivity::class.java)) finish() }, 2500) } } |
activity_home.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout 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" android:gravity="center" android:background="#ECC8C8" tools:context=".SplashScreen.HomeActivity"> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="My Home" android:textStyle="bold" android:textSize="29sp" android:textColor="@color/white" ></TextView> </LinearLayout> |
Conclusion: We have covered how to design and implement splash screen in Android using kotlin language.
