Place it in the onCreate method

 Thread timer = new Thread(){
            public void run(){
                try{
                    sleep(5000);   // set the duration of splash screen
                }
                catch(InterruptedException e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } finally {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(Splash_screen.this, MainActivity.class);
                    startActivity(intent);
                }
            }
        };
        timer.start();

Place it outside the onCreate method

 @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        finish();
    }
