How to implement splash screen in android
<p>I have a application which shows list of items. i need to display a fadeout image before start of main activity.
i tried something like that
in onCreate method of main activity i started
one animation activity like</p>

<pre><code>Intent animationIntent=new Intent(this,AnimationActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(AnimationIntent);
</code></pre>

<p>in onCreate method of AnimationActivity.class</p>

<pre><code>super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    ImageView introanim = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imgView);
    AnimationSet StoryAnimation = (AnimationSet)AnimationUtils.
loadAnimation(this, R.anim.alphanim);
StoryAnimation.setAnimationListener(new AnimationListener() {

        @Override
        public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }

        @Override
        public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
                AnimationSubActivity.this.finish();

        }

        @Override
        public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
            AnimationSubActivity.this.finish();
        }
    });

    introanim.clearAnimation();
    introanim.startAnimation(StoryAnimation);
</code></pre>

<p>and my main.xml is</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
&gt;
&lt;ImageView  
android:id="@+id/imgView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
android:src="@drawable/icon"
/&gt;
&lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>problem with this approach is that it display an amimation but imageview come to screen for a while and main activity comes with slide transition effect </p>

<p>but i want i image fade out and my activity should fade in</p>

<p>any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance</p>
