Android - Prevent white screen at startup

please add this line into your app theme

<item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item>

The problem with white background is caused because of android's cold start while the app loads to memory, and it can be avoided with this:

public class OnboardingWithCenterAnimationActivity extends AppCompatActivity {public static final int STARTUP_DELAY = 300;public static final int ANIM_ITEM_DURATION = 1000;public static final int ITEM_DELAY = 300;private boolean animationStarted = false;@Overrideprotected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {    setTheme(R.style.AppTheme);    getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION);    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);    setContentView(R.layout.activity_onboarding_center);}@Overridepublic void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {    if (!hasFocus || animationStarted) {        return;    }    animate();    super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);}private void animate() {    ImageView logoImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img_logo);    ViewGroup container = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.container);    ViewCompat.animate(logoImageView)        .translationY(-250)        .setStartDelay(STARTUP_DELAY)        .setDuration(ANIM_ITEM_DURATION).setInterpolator(            new DecelerateInterpolator(1.2f)).start();    for (int i = 0; i < container.getChildCount(); i++) {        View v = container.getChildAt(i);        ViewPropertyAnimatorCompat viewAnimator;        if (!(v instanceof Button)) {            viewAnimator = ViewCompat.animate(v)                    .translationY(50).alpha(1)                    .setStartDelay((ITEM_DELAY * i) + 500)                    .setDuration(1000);        } else {            viewAnimator = ViewCompat.animate(v)                    .scaleY(1).scaleX(1)                    .setStartDelay((ITEM_DELAY * i) + 500)                    .setDuration(500);        }        viewAnimator.setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator()).start();    }}}

layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><FrameLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:background="?colorPrimary"android:orientation="vertical"><LinearLayout    android:id="@+id/container"    android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:layout_height="wrap_content"    android:layout_gravity="center"    android:gravity="center"    android:orientation="vertical"    android:paddingTop="144dp"    tools:ignore="HardcodedText"    >    <TextView        android:layout_width="wrap_content"        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"        android:layout_marginTop="16dp"        android:alpha="0"        android:text="Hello world"         android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title.Inverse"        android:textColor="@android:color/white"        android:textSize="22sp"        tools:alpha="1"        />    <TextView        android:layout_width="wrap_content"        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"        android:alpha="0"        android:gravity="center"        android:text="This a nice text"      android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Subtitle.Inverse"        android:textSize="20sp"        tools:alpha="1"        />    <Button        android:id="@+id/btn_choice1"        android:layout_width="200dp"        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:layout_marginTop="48dp"        android:scaleX="0"        android:scaleY="0"        android:text="A nice choice"        android:theme="@style/Button"        />    <Button        android:id="@+id/btn_choice2"        android:layout_width="200dp"        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:layout_marginTop="4dp"        android:scaleX="0"        android:scaleY="0"        android:text="Far better!"        android:theme="@style/Button"        /></LinearLayout><ImageView    android:id="@+id/img_logo"    android:layout_width="wrap_content"    android:layout_height="wrap_content"    android:layout_gravity="center"    android:src="@drawable/img_face"    tools:visibility="gone"    /></FrameLayout>

img face

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"        android:opacity="opaque"><item android:drawable="?colorPrimary"/><item>    <bitmap        android:gravity="center"        android:src="@drawable/img_face"/></item>

Add this theme to your splashscreen in the manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><resources><style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>    <item name="android:windowBackground">@null</item></style><style name="AppTheme.CenterAnimation">    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/ll_face_logo</item></style>

which will produce efect like this
