the manifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.conversation" >  <application     android:allowbackup="true"     android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"     android:label="@string/app_name"     android:theme="@style/apptheme" >     <activity         android:name="com.example.conversation.splash"         android:configchanges="orientation|keyboardhidden|screensize"         android:theme="@android:style/theme.notitlebar" >         <intent-filter>             <action android:name="android.intent.action.main" />              <category android:name="android.intent.category.launcher" />         </intent-filter>     </activity> </application> 

you can follows:

private static final int splash_time_out = 2000; private static final handler mhandler = new handler();  @override protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {     super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);     setcontentview(r.layout.activity_splash);      mhandler.postdelayed(new runnable() {          @override         public void run() {                  startactivity(new intent(getapplicationcontext(), youractivity.class));                  finish();            }     }, splash_time_out);     } 

here activity_splash.xml splash activity layout , youractivity activity you're going next.
