Splash Screen in Kotlin

          On this blog I am going to explain how to show a splash screen using Handler. You can find more about Handler from Here.  On this I am going to show the redirection to new Activity page after the delay I set.  Redirection will be from SplashActivity which is my splash screen to MainActivity which is my landing page

Here I am using a delay of 4000 MS (4 Seconds)


Here I am using  postDelayed function for this,

fun postDelayed(r: Runnable!, delayMillis: Long): Boolean

Sample Code

import android.content.Intent
import android.os.Bundle
import android.os.Handler
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import com.example.MainActivity

class SplashActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash)

        Handler().postDelayed({

            val intent = Intent(this, MainActivity::class.java)
            startActivity(intent)
            finish()
        
        }, 4000)

    }
}

On this blog I am going to explain How to setup new Kotlin project on Android Studio. To setup new project on Kotlin on Android project we need Android Studio version 3.0 or more. For older version of studio we can user Pligins. You can able to download by selecting "Install JetBrains plugin".
