Animation takes a long time to appear

I’m trying to show the lottie animation on my splash screen. Below is the code for my SplashActivity. I’m adding delay of 2.5 secs to display the splash and firing an intent to MainActivity after this. But still no animations shows up till 2.5 secs. It just shows white screen. I added 5 secs then it shows up. But I don’t want to do like this. I just want to show the animation in 1 sec.

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);
LottieAnimationView lottieAnimationView = findViewById(R.id.lottie_animation);
lottieAnimationView.setAnimation("animation.json");
lottieAnimationView.playAnimation();
lottieAnimationView.loop(true);

Handler mHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
mHandler.postDelayed(() -> {
 Intent intent = new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
 intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
 startActivity(intent);
}, 1500);`

What to do here ?

@saketkumar For subsequent launches, you warn the cache just by using the LottieCompositionFactory methods with a cache key. The next time you call it, it’ll just return the pre-parsed composition.

I also ran into the same situation but able to fix it. First make the lottie animation visible to true in the XML file then just your work will be done. PS: don’t include any other code of lottie animation in corresponding Java file. All this will lead to showing animation on the splash screen as soon as it is launched till the activity get changed after delayed amount of time
