Android: 'Splash screen' only once

Tags:

splash-screen

I have a Android application that requires a splash screen. I have a simple activity which shows the splash screen and after a number of seconds, it starts the 'main' activity. Now, when a user presses the back button from that activity, the splash screen shows again. How can I prevent this? I tried keeping a boolean shownSplash and this partially works, but when the app is running and the user wants to open it from the app-launcher, the app exits (since splash calls finish() when splashShown is true). Any ideas?

Thanks, Erik

How do I use the splashscreen API?

You can use the SplashScreen API directly, but we strongly recommend using the Androidx SplashScreen compat library instead. The compat library uses the SplashScreen API, enables backward-compatibility, and creates a consistent look and feel for splash screen display across all Android versions. This guide is written using the compat library.

Set android:noHistory="true" to the activity entry at the AndroidManifest.xml. That will prevent the activity from being saved on the stack.
