You can create a custom loading screen instead of splash screen. if you show a splash screen for 10 sec, it's not a good idea for user experience. So it's better to add a custom loading screen. For a custom loading screen you may need some different images to make that feel like a gif. after that add the images in the res folder and make a class like this :-

public class LoadingScreen {private ImageView loading;

LoadingScreen(ImageView loading) {
    this.loading = loading;
}

public void setLoadScreen(){
    final Integer[] loadingImages = {R.mipmap.loading_1, R.mipmap.loading_2, R.mipmap.loading_3, R.mipmap.loading_4};
    final Handler loadingHandler = new Handler();
    Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
        int loadingImgIndex = 0;
        public void run() {
            loading.setImageResource(loadingImages[loadingImgIndex]);
            loadingImgIndex++;
            if (loadingImgIndex >= loadingImages.length)
                loadingImgIndex = 0;
            loadingHandler.postDelayed(this, 500);
        }
    };
    loadingHandler.postDelayed(runnable, 500);
}}

In your MainActivity, you can pass a to the LoadingScreen class like this :-

private ImageView loadingImage;

Don't forget to add an ImageView in activity_main. After that call the LoadingScreen class like this;

LoadingScreen loadingscreen = new LoadingScreen(loadingImage);
loadingscreen.setLoadScreen();

I hope this will help you

You can use splash screen in your first loading Activity like this    Override     public void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState            super onCreate savedInstanceState           setContentView R layout splash            Thread welcomeThread   new Thread                   Override             public void run                     try                       super run                        sleep 10000      Delay of 10 seconds                   catch  Exception e                       finally                        Intent i   new Intent SplashActivity this                              MainActivity class                       startActivity i                       finish                                                       welcomeThread start            Hope this code helps you

Write the code      Override     public void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState            super onCreate savedInstanceState           setContentView R layout splash            Thread welcomeThread   new Thread                   Override             public void run                     try                       super run                        sleep 10000     Delay of 10 seconds                   catch  Exception e                       finally                        Intent i   new Intent SplashActivity this                              MainActivity class                       startActivity i                       finish                                                       welcomeThread start

If the application is not doing anything in that 10 seconds  this will form a bad design only to make the user wait for 10 seconds doing nothing   If there is something going on in that  or if you wish to implement 10 seconds delay splash screen Here is the Code    ProgressDialog pd  pd   ProgressDialog show this  Please Wait       Loading Application     false  true   pd setCanceledOnTouchOutside false   Thread t   new Thread             Override       public void run                           try                                       sleep 10000     Delay of 10 seconds                            catch  Exception e             handler sendEmptyMessage 0                 t start       Handles the thread result of the Backup being executed  private Handler handler   new Handler          Override     public void handleMessage Message msg                 pd dismiss              Start the Next Activity here

Please read this article  Chris Stewart wrote there      Splash screens just waste your time  right  As an Android developer    when I see a splash screen  I know that some poor dev had to add a   three-second delay to the code       Then  I have to stare at some picture for three seconds until I can   use the app  And I have to do this every time it   s launched  I know   which app I opened  I know what it does  Just let me use it       Splash Screens the Right Way      I believe that Google isn   t contradicting itself  the old advice and   the new stand together   That said  it   s still not a good idea to use   a splash screen that wastes a user   s time  Please don   t do that        However  Android apps do take some amount of time to start up    especially on a cold start  There is a delay there that you may not be   able to avoid  Instead of leaving a blank screen during this time  why   not show the user something nice  This is the approach Google is   advocating  Don   t waste the user   s time  but don   t show them a blank    unconfigured section of the app the first time they launch it  either       If you look at recent updates to Google apps  you   ll see appropriate   uses of the splash screen  Take a look at the YouTube app  for   example
