                    sleep(3*1000);

                    Intent i=new Intent(getBaseContext(),ManuList.class);
                    startActivity(i);
                    finish();

                } catch (Exception e) {

package com.example.teststart;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;

public class FirstActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_first);
           new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    Intent i=new Intent(FirstActivity.this,secondactivity.class);
            startActivity(i);

            }
            }, 3000);

                    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.first, menu);
        return true;
    }

}

public class secondactivity extends Activity{
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.secondactvity);
