+# How to create a Splash screen
+
+##### Well, actually, it's easy. The ingredients are:
+
+* An Activity for the Splash Screen (without the layout file)
+* Your Manifest: to declare you Splash Screen as the Launcher
+* One drawable(logo) file to customize the splash screen a little
+
+ *The splash view has to be ready immediately, even before you can inflate a layout file in your splash activity.*
+
+
+# Api's Used
+
+For making our splash screen more attractive and more real, I used two animation api's to ehnhance the look. The api's are [com.daimajia.androidanimations:library](https://github.com/daimajia/AnimationEasingFunctions) and [com.airbnb.android:lottie](https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-android). So, lets get started on adding the dependencies.
+
+## The recipe:
+
+## Step 1 (Adding dependencies)
+### Android Animations Library
+#### Gradle
+```groovy
+dependencies {
+ implementation 'com.daimajia.androidanimations:library:2.3@aar'
+}
+```
+#### Maven
+
+```xml
+
+ com.android.support
+ support-compat
+ 25.1.1
+
+
+ com.daimajia.androidanimation
+ library
+ 2.3
+
+
+ com.daimajia.easing
+ library
+ 2.0
+
+```
+### Android Lottie
+#### Gradle
+Gradle is the only supported build configuration, so just add the dependency to your project `build.gradle` file:
+
+```groovy
+dependencies {
+ implementation 'com.airbnb.android:lottie:$lottieVersion'
+}
+```
+The latest Lottie version is:
+
+
+Lottie 2.8.0 and above only supports projects that have been migrated to [androidx](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/). For more information, read Google's [migration guide](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate).
+
+## Step 2
+
+###### Create your Splash Screen Activity
+
+```java
+public class SplashActivity extends Activity {
+ //This is the time it will take for the splash screen to be displayed
+ private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 3000;
+
+ @Override
+ protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
+ super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
+ setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);
+
+ //This is where we change our app name font to blacklist font
+ Typeface typeface = ResourcesCompat.getFont(this, R.font.blacklist);
+
+ TextView appname= findViewById(R.id.appname);
+ appname.setTypeface(typeface);
+
+ // We use the Yoyo to make our app logo to bounce app and down.
+ //There is a lot of Attension Techniques styles
+ // example Flash, Pulse, RubberBand, Shake, Swing, Wobble, Bounce, Tada, StandUp, Wave.
+ // Your can change the techniques to fit your liking.
+ YoYo.with(Techniques.Bounce)
+ .duration(7000)
+ .playOn(findViewById(R.id.logo));
+
+ //This is where we make our app name fade in as it moves up
+ // There are other Fade Techniques too
+ //example FadeIn, FadeInUp, FadeInDown, FadeInLeft, FadeInRight
+ //FadeOut, FadeOutDown, FadeOutLeft, FadeOutRight, FadeOutUp
+ YoYo.with(Techniques.FadeInUp)
+ .duration(5000)
+ .playOn(findViewById(R.id.appname));
+
+ new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
+
+ /*
+ * Showing splash screen with a timer. This will be useful when you
+ * want to show case your app logo / company
+ */
+
+ @Override
+ public void run() {
+ // This method will be executed once the timer is over
+ // Start your app main activity
+ startActivity(new Intent(SplashActivity.this,WelcomeActivity.class));
+ finish();
+ }
+ }, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);
+ }
+}
+
+```
+
+activity_splash.xml
+
+```xml
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+and your Manifest should look something like this
+
+```xml
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+
+That is it. You can clone the project using Android Studio and have fun.
