I've built a splash screen that loads a (splash) activity and then starts another activity and it works fine. (I've attached it below - it's called SPLASH 1)
I created another splash screen to replace this one which is supposed to only run once - then after creating a SharedPreferences
boolean it is supposed to load another activity. Everything seems fine with this but now when it loads the new activity, none of the menuitems appear. I have no idea what changed in SPLASH 2 - but something in there is causing the MenuItems
not to appear after it loads the exact same activity SPLASH 1 does (NEWCORE.JAVA)
I'm really not sure what is going on here - any help is greatly appreciated!
(please let me know if any additional info is needed)
SPLASH 1. (WORKING)
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.content.Intent;
import com.nfc.linkingmanager.R;
public class SplashScreen extends Activity {
private boolean mIsBackButtonPressed;
private static final int SPLASH_DURATION = 1000;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen);
Handler handler = new Handler();
// run a thread after 2 seconds to start the home screen
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// make sure we close the splash screen so the user won't come back when it presses back key
finish();
if (!mIsBackButtonPressed) {
// start the home screen if the back button wasn't pressed already
Intent intent = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, NewCore.class);
SplashScreen.this.startActivity(intent);
}
}
}, SPLASH_DURATION); // time in milliseconds (1 second = 1000 milliseconds) until the run() method will be called
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// set the flag to true so the next activity won't start up
mIsBackButtonPressed = true;
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
SPLASH 2 (NOT WORKING - CAUSES MENUITEMS not to appear on the activity it loads)

import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
public class SplashScreen extends Activity
{
private Handler handler = new Handler()
{
public void handleMessage(Message msg)
{
Intent i = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, AppActivity.class);
SplashScreen.this.startActivity(i);
this.finish();
}
};
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
if(!prefs.getBoolean("first_time", false))
{
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
editor.putBoolean("first_time", true);
editor.commit();
Intent i = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, NewCore.class);
this.startActivity(i);
this.finish();
}
else
{
this.setContentView(R.layout.country_list);
handler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, 2000);
}
}
}
