  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:orientation="vertical" 
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">
            <ImageView 
                    android:id="@+id/splashscreen" 
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="match_parent"                  android:src="@drawable/Splash_image"
                    android:layout_gravity="center"/>
  
            <TextView 
                      android:layout_width="match_parent"                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                      android:text="Hello World, splash"/>
  
    </LinearLayout>

  SplashScreen Class:
  
  

  import android.app.Activity;
  import android.content.Intent;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.os.Handler;
  
  public class SplashScreen extends AppCompatActivity {
  
      /** Duration of wait **/
      private final int SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGTH = 1000;
  
      /** Called when the activity is first created. */
      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) ) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) );
          setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash_screen);
  
          /* New Handler to start the Menu-Activity 
           * and close this Splash-Screen after some seconds.*/
          new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable(){
              @Override
              public void run() {
                  /* Create an Intent that will start the Menu-Activity. */
                  Intent intnt_home= new Intent(Splash.this,Home.class);
                  Splash.this.startActivity(mainIntent);
                  Splash.this.finish();
              }
          }, SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGTH);
      }
  }

  Another Home Activity:
  
  You need to define the Home Activity in your activity_home.xml file.
  

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:orientation="vertical" 
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">
            <TextView 
                      android:layout_width="match_parent"                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                      android:text="Hello World, Home"/>
  
    </LinearLayout>

  Home Class:
  

  
  public class Home extends AppCompatActivity {
  
      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) ) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) );
          setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
  
      }
