import android.os.Bundle;

public class SplashScreen extends Activity {
    private Intent myintent;

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen);

        myintent = new Intent(this, Secondactivity.class);
       new Thread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            try {
                Thread.sleep(6000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            startActivity(myintent);
            finish();
        }
      }).start();
    
    }

}

When opening app it shows splash screen for 6 seconds,

after that opens second activity.
