How to move to another activity in a few seconds?

Question

I have a splash screen. I just want it to wait for 1 or 2 sec and then move on to the next activity just then once. I understand there are many ways including handler classes and java.util.timer implementation. But which is the easiest and most light way to do just this. Thanx in advance.

Solution

Use below Code for that.

Splash_Screen_Activity.java

public class Splash_Screen_Activity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen);

        final Handler handler = new Handler();
        handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                // TODO: Your application init goes here.
                Intent mInHome = new Intent(Splash_Screen_Activity.this, InvoiceASAPTabActivity.class);
                Splash_Screen_Activity.this.startActivity(mInHome);
                Splash_Screen_Activity.this.finish();
            }
        }, 3000);
    }
}
