display image in a splash screen

I am a novice android developer. I am trying to create a splash screen. I have a png image. I have created an empty splash screen with a text box.I have 2 activities - MainActivity and SecondActivity.

code:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {


    private static int SPLASH_SCREEN_TIME_OUT=2000;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Intent i=new Intent(MainActivity.this,
                        SecondActivity.class);
                //Intent is used to switch from one activity to another.

                startActivity(i);
                //invoke the SecondActivity.

                finish();
                //the current activity will get finished.
            }
        }, SPLASH_SCREEN_TIME_OUT);
    }


}


public class SecondActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);
        Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        FloatingActionButton fab = findViewById(R.id.fab);
        fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                        .setAction("Action", null).show();
            }
        });
    }
}

activity_main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView"
        android:layout_width="250dp"
        android:layout_height="200dp"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/geeks"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.447" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

But app:srcCompat="@drawable/geeks" is in red color. Means it is not resolved. Where shall I copy the png image for the splash screen? I have not copied the image anywhere in android studio. Without the image view, the splash screen runs fine showing hello world.

Few things to keep in mind.

  1. The image size should be low (not more than 150-200kb)

  2. Instead of adding text and image on the activity, design a splash screen using Illustrator or any other medium and save it in png format.

  3. Store this in the res/drawable.

  4. In the activity_main, just add line android:background ="@drawable/geeks".

  5. In AndroidManifest.xml, add, android:theme="@style/Theme.<app name>.NoActionBar"

first you need to put your image in res/drawable folder:

enter image description here

and then access it by app:srcCompat or android:src attribute of ImageView inside your activity_main.xml:

app:srcCompat="@drawable/company_logo"

android:src="@drawable/company_logo"

Try writing android : src ="@drawable/geeks", instead.
