Errors while adding splash screen in android

I am new to android development, and I'm trying to add a splash screen in my app.
I found this tutorial:
I have added the files as mentioned in the tutorial but it doesn't seems to work, there is an error in my Splashscreen.java file
It gives me the error cannot resolve symbol androidmkab
Thanks for helping in advance.
Splashscreen.java
package com.myapplication;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import com.androidmkab.randomsplash.MainActivity;
import java.util.Random;
public class Splashscreen extends Activity {
Thread splashTread;
ImageView imageView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_splashscreen);
imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_XY);
int[] ids = new int[]{R.drawable.s_img,R.drawable.s_image_black, R.drawable.s_image_black2};
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
int r= randomGenerator.nextInt(ids.length);
this.imageView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(ids[r]));
splashTread = new Thread() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
int waited = 0;
// Splash screen pause time
while (waited < 3500) {
sleep(100);
waited += 100;
}
Intent intent = new Intent(Splashscreen.this,
MainActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);
startActivity(intent);
Splashscreen.this.finish();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// do nothing
} finally {
Splashscreen.this.finish();
}
}
};
splashTread.start();
}

import com.androidmkab.randomsplash.MainActivity; remove this line from the top. Its not your package... instead make it import com.myapplication.MainActivity

the problem seems to be that you are trying to call a package which does not exist in your project. androidmkab.randomsplash.MainActivity should be replaced with your project package. such as com.myApplication.MainActivity

Delete the line com.androidmkab.randomsplash.MainActivity; and write com.myapplication.MainActivity;

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activit

I'm trying to write an Android app that logs when you click a button it will put text into the console, however I am getting an error when I complie it and run it on my Galaxy S7 edge running 7.0 API version 24.
I've read that I need to add something into the manifest file however I am not sure what I need to add.

import android.app.Activity;

public class MainActivity {
public class MyActivity extends Activity {

Source
Here is the layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.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="me.adamstephenson.test.test1.MainActivity">
<Button
android:id="#+id/RequestKey"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="196dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="129dp" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Finally here is the manifest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="me.adamstephenson.test.test1">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

You are referring to the wrong class in your manifest. MyActivity is the Activity, not MainActivity. Change your manifest to the following :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="me.adamstephenson.test.test1">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity$MyActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
And
You should make your inner activity static as well :
public class MainActivity {
public static class MyActivity extends Activity {
...
}
}

Because your activity class is created as a inner class and static class. I don't have any idea why did you choose this way while you can use it this proper way:
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.RequestKey);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.d("RequestKey", "Clicked");
}
});
}
.
.
.
// other methods or inner class can exist here
}

How can I stop my Android webview app from refreshing when I rotate my phone?

I am trying to complete my org's first app (we lost our dev due to health issues) and it seems to be working except that when the phone is rotated it refreshes back to the login screen. I realize that this question was answered previously here but this information is 4 years old and I get some compiling errors.
Here is our code - I really hope that someone can help as I am completely new to this and not really a dev myself, but I feel like what we have is close to a solution.
Manifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="ca.ruffarc.flytest">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Main Activity:
package ca.ruffarc.flytest;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private WebView webView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView.setWebViewClient(new MyBrowser());
webView.getSettings().setLoadsImagesAutomatically(true);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);
webView.loadUrl("https://flyapp.ca/en/authentication");
}
private class MyBrowser extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
#Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && webView.canGoBack()) {
webView.goBack();
return true;
}
else
{
finish();
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}

If you look at the AndroidManifest.xml from the link you gave you will see that <activity> has property android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden".
So you need to do the same for your activity in the manifest with small difference:
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden".
Here's a full example of Manifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="ca.ruffarc.flytest">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

Cannot Launch an Activity on touching anywhere in Main Activity

Could please someone lend me a hand? I've been struggling with this problem for hours. I have a Main and Start activity, the Main is the Launcher with a bunch of information (TextViews), it should transit into Start activity as soon as someone touches the screen. I found some info on stack overflow on how to do this (setting the onTouchListener() on relative layout) however it does not work for me, so everytime I try with:
RelativeLayout layout= (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.relativeLayout1);
layout.setOnTouchListener(this);
it tells me to cast 'this' to 'OnTouchListener' and here's the outcome:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
TextView display1;
TextView display2;
TextView display3;
TextView display4;
ImageView image1;
RelativeLayout layout;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.start_screen);
getActionBar().setTitle("AutoSMS");
RelativeLayout layout= (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.relativeLayout1);
layout.setOnTouchListener((OnTouchListener) this);
display1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
display2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
display3 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView3);
display4 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView4);
image1 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
Intent openStarting = new Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN");
startActivity(openStarting);
}
}
Here's the Manifest, just in case
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.autosms"
android:versionCode="1"

The DDMS gives me ClassCastException, MainActivity cannot be cast to ViewOnTouchListener
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

You can either implement your whole activity to be an onTouchListener or create a new onTouchListener when you add it. Like
public class myActivity extends Activity implements onTouchListener
or
thisObject.add(new onTouchListener(){
//TODO: Add code
});
There is no need to cast your Activity as an onTouchListener when it isn't. Casting is when you get the certain value of something if it's possible like if you have a double and you want to get it's value as an int. You just need to make a new onTouchListener or turn your activity into one because you don't have any.

How can remove the titlebar and remain the browser in fullscreen

I'm trying to create my first app, the browser for android with this code already done, but needed to adapt to my necessity. I still do not know java, and the examples I find I can not make it work.
I need help and reading.
How can remove the titlebar and remain the browser in fullscreen?
for later viewing and interacting with my application in jquery mobile

setContentView(R.layout.main);
WebView mainWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.mainWebView);
WebSettings webSettings = mainWebView.getSettings();

1 - in your layout, set the WebView to match_parent in both layout_width and layout_height
2 - in your code, add these lines:
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Hiding Title bar of this activity screen
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
// Making this activity full screen
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
in place of the existing
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
If your IDE is NOT SET to add the missing imports, just add the following line to your imports:
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;

update your manifeist like this :
only mentioning one thing:
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
