No splash activity is showing

I have built a SplashActivity to be displayed for 5500 ms before the MainActivity. But when the app runs, it just shows a white screen for 2s, then jumps to the MainActivity. No error is being displayed, but there is no splash screen design or animation or anything else.

Here is the activity in AndroidManifest.xml:

<application
   android:allowBackup="true"
   android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
   android:label="@string/app_name"
   android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
   <activity android:name=".SplashActivity"></activity>
   <activity
      android:name=".MainActivity"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:launchMode="singleTask">
      <intent-filter>
         <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
         <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
      </intent-filter>
   </activity>
</application>

This is my SplashActivity:

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.AnimationUtils;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class SplashActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    TextView appName;
    Animation frombottom;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);

        Handler handler = new Handler();
        handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Intent intent = new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent);
                finish();
            }
        }, 5500);

        appName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.appName);
        frombottom = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.frombottom);
        appName.setAnimation(frombottom);
    }
}

What could be the possible problem and the solution to that? Thanks in advance for your suggestion.

In Launcher you have called MainActivity thats the reason your splash screen open 

<application
  android:allowBackup="true"
  android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
  android:label="@string/app_name"
  android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
  <activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:launchMode="singleTask"></activity>
  <activity
    android:name=".SplashActivity">
    <intent-filter>
       <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
       <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
 </activity>
</application>

Making an Activity to do a "fixed" splash screen is not the right way to go.

Use an drawable or make one from xml, for example (bg_launch.xml):

<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <color android:color="@color/primary"/>
    </item>
    <item
        android:drawable="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:gravity="center"/>
</layer-list>

From you main theme create a launch theme

<style name="AppTheme.Launcher">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/bg_launch</item>
    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>

then from you manifest apply this theme to your main Activity

<activity
     android:name=".MainActivity"
     ...
     android:theme="@style/AppTheme.Launcher">
...

Finally revert you your default theme when app start from your main Activity

@Override
void onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle){
    setTheme(R.style.AppTheme)
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
}

Doing this way you'll have no white screen delay, you can still go for an Activity splash screen if you need animation or translated text but you'll get that drawback to have a little delay before it's actually present to user.

Manifest file needs to be changed

    <application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity android:name=".SplashActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:launchMode="singleTask">

    </activity>
</application>
