How to create a splash screen using QML

[startimeahmet]

Hi, I am trying to develop an android application using QT. I want to show a splash screen at the start of the application. Splash screen will stay there for 2 seconds then main page of the app will be shown. For this I have created 2 .qml files.

Splash.qml

import QtQuick 2.9
import QtQuick.Controls 2.2
import QtQuick.Window 2.3

Window {
    id: window
    visible: true
    width: Screen.width
    height: Screen.height
    signal timeout

    Image {
        id: image
        anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
        anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
        width: 300
        height: 300
        source: "qrc:/../Desktop/photo_2018-03-21_19-53-06.jpg"
    }

    Text {
        id: text1
        y: image.height + image.y + 20
        text: qsTr("@startimeahmet Presents")
        anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
        font.pixelSize: 25
    }

    Timer {
        interval: 2000; running: true; repeat: false
        onTriggered: {
            visible = false
            window.timeout()
        }
    }
}

main.qml

import QtQuick 2.9
import QtQuick.Controls 2.2
import QtQuick.Window 2.3

ApplicationWindow {
    id: root
    visible: false
    width: Screen.width
    height: Screen.height

    Splash {
        onTimeout: root.visible = true
    }
}

But this doesn't work. Any help on this is really appreciated!

p.s. I am using QT 5.11.1 with QT Creator 4.6.2

@startimeahmet Here's an answer I gave someone on the forums... seemed to have worked for him:
