Editing Splash screen (section)

==Software support==

The [[Java (programming language)|Java]] programming language has a specific class for creating splash screens, called <code>java.awt.SplashScreen</code><ref>{{cite web|title=SplashScreen (Java Platform SE 6)|url=http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/SplashScreen.html|access-date=September 8, 2015|archive-date=July 26, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150726034839/http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/SplashScreen.html|url-status=live}}</ref> that handles standard splash screen functions, e.g. display an image centered on screen that disappears when the first program window opens.

Splash screens can also be created in [[HTML]] and [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] if they are designed for a purpose other than as a loading screen. Instead, they are used for other purposes such as giving the option to pick the language.

The [[Android (operating system)|Android operating system]] (starting with [[Android 12]]) automatically generates a splash screen for every installed app, which can be customised by app developers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.androidauthority.com/android-12-features-1195735/|title=Android 12 features: Everything you need to know|date=August 6, 2024|website=Android Authority|last=Hindy|first=Joe|last2=Walker|first2=Andy|last3=Brown|first3=C.
