7:51 don't do that in tag application, it also applies in another activity. Add theme in tag activity so it only applies on the specific activity.

[@pablodevelop]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! This will help me with a task in my job 😍 nice tip.

[@Snuiper228]

Wow, this is a very ingenious way to do it. But instead of writing android: theme in , I wrote in so that it doesn't apply to all of my Activities

[@ahmedrashed2587]

can u explain more because i have this issue how i can fix it

[@Snuiper228]

​@@ahmedrashed2587 What about the last sentence? If you put in it will be attached to all activities. If it shouldn't apply to all activities, write in the so that it only applies to the activity you wrote it for. It's in manifest

[@henrynguyen7143]

@@Snuiper228 What if I use only one activity but with multiple fragment ?? Is there any way to fix that one. Edit: Nevermind I fixed it, so you could put the theme that you want for all of your screens in their layout file(s), and still keep the application's theme is the splash screen. Just want to leave it here so if anyone see this, they know how to do.

Hey! I found your channel yesterday. I was strugging to get started with android studio but thanks to you I have a better understanding of Android Apps development. I have a class project of making a todo list app (from scratch and without any help from the teacher lmao) aaaaand in java (rather than kotlin). Well, 5 hours later, I have a functionning app. It took me some time to translate the kotlin code in java but now everything's working. Thanks a lot

Glad I could help!

finally you found this thing that i never managed to do ! But do you have any idea how much time at the maximum can the oncreate take ? i mean, for UPI apps that have transaction like paytm are actually taking more than an app like whatsapp . Is it the security you think that takes so long or a bad splash screen ?

[@hellosagar]

Thanks for making this video we need this

[@thomaesm]

Never heard of this approach - thank you for sharing it! Since I use a very short animation of a custom shape in the splash screen in my current app, how would you implement such animations in your approach (I'm using an animated-vector SVG asset for the animation)?

[@sharkaboi]

This approach does not allow any time limited operations like an animation. It is primarly for making the splash screen last as long as the activity takes to call onCreate, thus preventing the awkward blank white/black activity on startup.

[@feepin2058]

Yeah me too I used to do short animation for my splash screen but I think now I'm going to do that technic because Philipp's right, the user doesn't really care about our logo xD

[@confuste]

​@@feepin2058 However, On Splash activity (the first activity) you can check if the user is logged or not. If user is logged then go to home else then go to login screen.

[@feepin2058]

@@confuste That's not the matter here, at all

[@i.k.shaikh3772]

Thanks for this informative video sir, can we have a sequel about a simple animation to the logo here, Zoom out for instance ??

[@joaolucassantosviegas3334]

Thanks, i was doing it in that way before, but when i was studiyng about it, all other videos was showing the wrong way, using another activity, that always look was wrong for me, so thank you, i tought i was doing it wrong, using theme instead activity, thanks.

[@kelvinmutisya9298]

hi phil, am using PNG and it seem different from SVG after adding it as an Image asset.. could you help on how to go about it since my Logo is in PNG and JPEG only.

[@FastCodeDeveloper]

You should have also said that the parent of the theme that you are creating must be such that there is no problem created when you have buttons because if you change the background you have to also fix the buttons background otherwise it will change them.
