Splash is the first screen in the Standard Mobile Application which holds itself for 5-10 seconds before moving to the main screen.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);    // mapping of xml (Splash) into java

// setting up a thread

  Thread splashThread = new Thread() {

@Override

public void run() {

try {

int waited = 0;

while (waited < 3000) {       // this screen hold itself for 3sec

sleep(100);

waited += 100;

}

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

// do nothing

} finally {

finish();

Intent i = new Intent();

i.setClass(getBaseContext(), RegisterActivity.class);  // RegisterActivity is the                                                                                                  //activity which opens after the splash screen

startActivity(i);

}
