Blank page on startup

android

Solution

Here's what I did.

==> After digging a lot I found that the Delay was caused by "Theme" aspect in Manifest file.

So , I created my own Style Based on some really helpful example from web(Source I really frogot) .

My suggestion to you would be to add these Lines in your res/values/styles.xml :

<resources>
    <style>
        ------- 
    </style> 

    <style name="SplashScreen">
        <item name="android:padding">0dp</item>
        <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/black</item>
        <item name="android:windowFrame">@null</item>
    </style>
</resources>

And in your Manifest file Just pass that as style Under Your Activity tag as :

    <application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="com.sai.splashactivity.MainActivity"
        android:theme="@style/SplashScreen"
        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>

May be this will help you.

Problem

Before getting my splash screen I get a blank page for a little time (<1s) when I start my application. I even tried with an almost empty splash `Activity` but I still get it! What's wrong? Manifest file ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.mypackage" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" android:targetSdkVersion="18" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> <application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name"> <activity android:name=".SplashActivity" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> ``` SplashActivity.java ``` public class SplashActivity extends Activity{ @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); setContentView(R.layout.splash); } ``` splash.xml ``` <LinearLayout 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" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/bg" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:src="@drawable/splash" android:scaleType="centerCrop"/> </LinearLayout> ``` EDIT I tried with a default project and I still have the issue. Help! AndroidManifest.xml ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.blankpage.test" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" android:targetSdkVersion="18" /> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > <activity android:name="com.blankpage.test.SplashActivity" 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> ``` SplashActivity ``` public class SplashActivity extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.splash); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu); return true; } } ``` splash.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: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=".SplashActivity" android:background="#654456"> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/hello_world" /> </RelativeLayout> ```
