How to remove white screen while loading my application?

Question

AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.test" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="17" /> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/Theme.NoTitle" > <activity android:name="com.example.test.MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest> 

MainActivity.java:

 package com.example.test; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; public class MainActivity extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); } } 

activity_main.xml:

 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@color/bg" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".MainActivity" > </RelativeLayout> 

This is a really simple application, and it is almost the same as when you created it.

I also used this https://stackoverflow.com/a/3126168/2126 to remove the header.

When I open the application, a white screen appears for less than a second, and then a blue screen appears. How to change this?

One quick and easy way is to make your launch screen transparent.

 <activity android:name="com.taxeeta.BookingExperience" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" android:label="@string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" />
