Splashscreen.java

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.PixelFormat;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.AnimationUtils;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;

public class Splashscreen extends Activity {
    public void onAttachedToWindow() {
        super.onAttachedToWindow();
        Window window = getWindow();
        window.setFormat(PixelFormat.RGBA_8888);
    }
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    Thread splashTread;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_splashscreen);
        StartAnimations();
    }
    private void StartAnimations() {
        Animation anim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.alpha);
        anim.reset();
        LinearLayout l=(LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.lin_lay);
        l.clearAnimation();
        l.startAnimation(anim);

        anim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.translate);
        anim.reset();
        ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.splash);
        iv.clearAnimation();
        iv.startAnimation(anim);

        splashTread = new Thread() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    int waited = 0;
                    // Splash screen pause time
                    while (waited < 3500) {
                        sleep(100);
                        waited += 100;
                    }
                    Intent intent = new Intent(Splashscreen.this,
                            MainActivity.class);
                    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);
                    startActivity(intent);
                    Splashscreen.this.finish();
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    // do nothing
                } finally {
                    Splashscreen.this.finish();
                }

            }
        };
        splashTread.start();

    }
}

layout/activity_splashscreen.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="#242729"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
     android:id="@+id/lin_lay"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
 
    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/splash"
        android:background="@drawable/splash_img" />
 
</LinearLayout>

anim/alpha.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<alpha
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fromAlpha="0.0"
    android:toAlpha="1.0"
    android:duration="3000" />

anim/translate.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
 
<translate
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fromXDelta="0%"
    android:toXDelta="0%"
    android:fromYDelta="200%"
    android:toYDelta="0%"
    android:duration="2000"
    android:zAdjustment="top" />
 
</set>

And now the last code that is for AndroidManifest.xml. Here we have to add a new activity for our java class(Splashscreen)

AndroidManifest.xml

<activity
            android:name=".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>

Put these code before MainActivity and change MainActivity's "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" to "android.intent.category.DEFAULT"

Copy an image with name splash_img in png format.

So this is the simple way to add Animated Splashscreen to you Android App.

Now go to buil in top menu of Android Studio and select Generate signed Apk and epxort your Application. After Succesfull export copy it to your phone and install. Or Upload to play store.
