Nowadays, Every android app is using a splash screen in one way or another way. From Popular android apps like Whatsapp, Facebook to small apps.

Today I am going to write code for launching splash in different ways from the old Handler way to new coroutines.

Using Threads:

new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
Thread.sleep(1700);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
launchDashboard();
}
}).start();

Using Handler:

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
launchDashboard
}
}, 1700);

Using Timer:

new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask() {          
@Override
public void run() {
launchDashboard();
}
}, 1700);

Using CounDownTimer:

new CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) {

public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {}

public void onFinish() {
launchDashboard();
}

}.start();

Using LifeCycleScope:

lifecycleScope.launchWhenStarted {
delay(1700)
launchDashboard()
}

Using CoroutineScope:

CoroutineScope(Job()).launch { 
delay(1700)
launchDashboard()
}

But here you have to manage the scope of the coroutine, otherwise, it may leak memory.
