Answer 1

Create a handler inside onCreate like this :

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
        }
    }, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);

here SPLASH_TIME_OUT is an integer which tells time to call this method again and again.

private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 1500;
