I wanted to stop the SplashScreen for some time. This splash screen layout contain a ImageView that show the appLogo.

public class SplashActivity : Activity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
    {
        base.OnCreate(bundle);

        SetContentView(Resource.Layout.SplashScreen);

        ImageView splashScreenImage = FindViewById<ImageView>(Resource.Id.appLogo);
        splashScreenImage.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.splLogo);

        Thread.Sleep(30000);

        StartActivity(typeof(MainActivity));
    }
}

Actualy my splash screen waiting stopping for some time but ImageView is not showing it come out at the last moment when new activity is going to start.

Why is this happening ? any help is appreciated :)

problem:

Thread.Sleep(30000);

It is not showing because you are blocking your UI thread to process the SetContentView to display in the screen thus it is not showing.

What it is really doing is that it will wait for 30 second without the display/black screen and change activity.

Solution:

Use a timer or Handler instead of sleeping the thread.
