android - Show message if internet is off as the splash screen loads -

i have written code in splashscreenactivity in oncreate():

timer t = new timer();     boolean checkconnection=new mainactivity().checkconnection(this);     if (checkconnection) {       t.schedule(new splashscreenactivity(), 3000);      } else {         toast.maketext(splashscreenactivity.this,                 "connection not found...plz check connection", 3000).show();     } 

this error i'm getting:

the method schedule(timertask, date) in type timer not applicable arguments (splashscreenactivity, int)

first of all, should never instantiate activity new keyword.

you example make checkconnection() method of splashscreenactivity.

the cause of error schedule() method expects timertask first parameter, you're passing activity it.

something should work:

if (checkconnection) {     t.schedule(new timertask() {         @override         public void run() {             intent intent = new intent(splashscreenactivity.this, mainactivity.class);             startactivity(intent);         }     }, 3000); } else {     toast.maketext(splashscreenactivity.this,             "connection not found...plz check connection", toast.length_long).show(); }
