+<h1><b>Splash Screen and Welcome Screen Tutorials</b><h1><br>
+<br>
+<br>
+Spash screen is the first screen which appears when an user opens an application. It usually contains the logo of the application with the main caption.
+<br>
+<br>
+Basic idea is to create a full screen activity which will contain the basic logo and other splash screen details. 
+The activity will also contain a thread which will sleep for 1 second (splash screen time) and will then call the finish() function. 
+This activity will be initiated from the main activity.
