Hi, I understand you want to show a splash screen.
Here is how i do it. I have a relativelayout containing my UI in a framelayout. The background of the framelayout is set to the picture for the splash. I have an animation on the relativelayout from 0 alpha to 1 alpha with a startoffset of 2 seconds and a duration of 1 second. Don't forget to put the fillbefore to true as well. Which means that the splash will appear for 2 seconds then the alpha of the UI will increment until it reaches full opacity and hides the splash in 1 seconds. I start the animation in my oncreate method. My xml in /res/anim/reveal.xml <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; fillEnabled="true" android:fillBefore="true" android:fillAfter="true" > <alpha android:fromAlpha="0" android:toAlpha="1" android:startOffset="2000" android:duration="1000" /> </set> This is not perfect since it doesn't depend on your application finishing to load itself. But you could use the same principle and just trigger the animation when your initialization is done.
