Am trying to make a splash screen with a fade-in animated TextView

Question

I am trying to make a splash screen with a fixed photo and animated text. However, the application always stops when launching. In the logcat, the only problem that appears is in SplashScreen line 17, and more specifically this line of code:

setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash_screen);

My code:

activity_splash_screen.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.example.lenovo.tryfinal.SplashScreen">

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:src="@drawable/garagny"
    android:id="@+id/imageView"/>

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Park Easily"
    android:layout_marginBottom="93dp"
    android:textSize="60dp"
    android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/imageView"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:id="@+id/ParkEasily"/>

    </RelativeLayout>

SplashScreen.java

package com.example.lenovo.garagnyapplication;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.AnimationUtils;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class SplashScreen extends Activity {

TextView ParkEasily;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash_screen);
    ParkEasily = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.ParkEasily);
    Animation fade1 = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(SplashScreen.this, R.anim.fade_in);
    ParkEasily.startAnimation(fade1);

    ParkEasily.startAnimation(fade1);

    fade1.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
        public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
            startActivity(new
                    Intent(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class));
            SplashScreen.this.finish();
        }

        public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation){
        }
        public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation){
        }



    });
}
}

fade_in.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<alpha android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
    android:duration="5000" android:repeatCount="infinite"/>
</set>

Answer 1

Your xml context refers this:

tools:context="com.example.lenovo.tryfinal.SplashScreen"

but your package is:

com.example.lenovo.garagnyapplication;

Your xml contex should be (tools:context="com.example.lenovo.garagnyapplication.SplashScreen")

Answer 2

I think you should import the R of your app. Try add "import {your package name}.R" line above Activity class. If it still shows error message, clean your project and check your xml file whether it has error. Then, build again and try to import generated R file.

Answer 3

Your SplashActivity class is under package com.example.lenovo.garagnyapplication

But your tools:context in xml is com.example.lenovo.tryfinal.SplashScreen

Make them same. in xml make it

   tools:context="com.example.lenovo.garagnyapplication.SplashScreen"
