Android Studio popup splash in main

Question

I am currently working on an Android application. Just started, and I was able to implement my screensaver. However, I do not like the transition between this and the main activity. I want the splash screen to fade and the main part disappear. It looks like they are mixing because I have the same background image for both. Could not find any study, but could not find the correct answers. Below I posted my code.

import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.MotionEvent; public class Splash_screen extends Activity { private Thread mSplashThread; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.splash_layout); final Splash_screen sPlashScreen = this; mSplashThread = new Thread(){ @Override public void run(){ try { synchronized(this){ wait(3000); } } catch(InterruptedException ex){ } finish(); Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClass(sPlashScreen, MainActivity.class); startActivity(intent); } }; mSplashThread.start(); } @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent evt) { if(evt.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) { synchronized(mSplashThread){ mSplashThread.notifyAll(); } } return true; } } 

Class MainActivity

 import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.app.Activity; public class MainActivity extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu); return true; } @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml. int id = item.getItemId(); //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement if (id == R.id.action_settings) { return true; } return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } } 

Feel free to delete any classes or files that are not needed for this task. Thanks

You can use two .xml files to fade out in the new Office and reduce the current activity.

fade_in.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <alpha xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator" android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0" android:duration="500" /> 

fade_out.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <alpha xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator" android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0" android:fillAfter="true" android:duration="500" /> 

Use it in code: (inside your activity)

 Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClass(sPlashScreen, MainActivity.class); startActivity(intent); overridePendingTransition(R.anim.fade_in, R.anim.fade_out); 

The code above will quench the current active activity and disappear in the recently launched action.
