            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>

Answer 1

Your "Splash" activity need to be MAIN LAUNCHER Activity. So modify the AndroidManifest file like this...

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
    </activity>

    <activity android:name=".Splash">
        <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

And Jump to MainActivity after few seconds..

Handler hadler=new Handler();
        hadler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run () {
                finish();
                Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
                startActivity(i);
            }
        }, 3000);

here 3000 is used for 3 seconds. The MainActivity auto start after 3 seconds. Hope it helps.
