MainActivity has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView

[rmarquois]

Hello.

When I start my app compiled in release mode I've got this error :

Activity com.myapp.MainActivity has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView{415ceea8 V.E..... R.....I. 0,0-1024,552} that was originally added here

I fix it with the following code in the MainActivity.java :

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      SplashScreen.show(this);
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }

    // my new code here
    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
      SplashScreen.hide(this);
      super.onPause();
    }

I can't confirm that it's the best solution but it works !

[maxhalty]

I'm having the same problem over here, I tried the solution that you suggested but it didn't work. Did you find something else? Any help would be great :)

[maxhalty]

Hi, if someone else have troubles with this maybe my experience help.

I tried a lot of things, and nothing worked until I found this steps for generating a release APK on React Native official documentation:

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/signed-apk-android.html

I followed the step by step and tested the APK on my phone and now everything is working. I really don't understand why using './gradlew assembleRelease' and generating the signed APK with the Android Studio didn't work with the splash screen but with this other way of generating the APK worked perfectly.

I hope it helps.

[manishoo]

I'm having the same problem. v3.0.0

[butchmarshall]

Yep - hitting this issue. Works fine in development, happens when running signed production build.

"react-native-splash-screen": "^3.0.1",

[bfinamore]

Was anyone able to determine a root cause for this? What's odd is I'm only running into this issue with an obfuscated Proguard build (+ signed w/ release key). When I set -dontobfuscate in proguard-rules.pro and then compile the release with minifyEnabled true it works fine. I'm using version ^3.0.1 of this library.

i'm having the same error :(

[CaviaTheGuineaPig]

if your method is onBackPressed, then delete the super.onBackPressed(); :D

Adding this method works!

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        SplashScreen.hide(this);
        super.onPause();
    }

Thanks @rmarquois.

After 2 hours of research. Above the problem : android.view.WindowLeaked: Activity com.xxx.MainActivity has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.PhoneWindow$DecorView{b2059e6 V.E...... R.....ID 0,0-2048,1536} that was originally added here

I found that this error: FATAL EXCEPTION: Thread-170 Process: com.xxx, PID: 1734 java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to load script from assets 'index.android.bundle'.

[noahtallen]

@brunolemos I was trying to run debug from Android Studio as well! The onPause fixed it for me. I think it was because there's a point where the app shows "waiting for remote debugger to connect" (e.g. connecting to Android Studio), and the crash happened before right before that. I bet Android "paused" the activity while connecting to the debugger, resulting in some sort of error within the splash screen library.

[mmazzarolo]

Hey! We're having this issue in production.
Any reason why the following change haven't already been added to the lib?

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    SplashScreen.hide(this);
    super.onPause();
}

Is a PR needed? (I see there are a bunch of open PRs)

Thanks!

When I set -dontobfuscate in proguard-rules.pro and then compile the release with minifyEnabled true it works fine. I'm using version ^3.0.1 of this library.

It works fine with enableProguardInReleaseBuilds = true in release mode without setting -dontobfuscate in proguard-rules.pro with version 3.1.1.

@duongntb94 solution should fix above mentioned issue.

[steventnorris-40AU]

I am getting this error as well, even after adding the onPause method. Any solution here?

Using version 3.1.1 with React Native 0.55

public class MainActivity extends NavigationActivity {

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      SplashScreen.show(this);
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

Run the app from within android studio and check and logs. See what the issue is and paste the red color issue you found, in here. Someone might be able to help

[Manoj002]

@HishamMubarak Got it working... Just before generating apk run this command: react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res

I have the same problem, it caused by another package. After deleting the package, I solve it.

[bharatidudhrejiya]

Any of this solution not working for me for android "Pie" There is any one have other solution.

Thanks!

[rumax]

After deleting the package, I solve it.

Which package did you delete and in which package it happened?

I was getting this error when I was trying to run a production apk. It would throw onShow not on startup. This error is thrown when something goes wrong within your application. For me I never asked for the fine location permission and when trying to access the user's location the app would crash. I would suggest using Logcat in the Android Studio terminal and look around for errors. It's usually above the splash screen error.

[konstantin-shkel]

In addition to @duongntb94 solution

I think this answer on StackOverflow will be useful :) https://stackoverflow.com/a/46363228

Looks like a proper way to do it automatically rather than manually.

Also, you can look into a comment in android/app/build.gradle file. There you can find a bit more information about ext.react configuration

[SkyTreasure]

I tried all the methods mentioned here added onPause() , executed the following command

mkdir android/app/src/main/assets react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res

still getting the same error.

Am on 3.1.1 version. Anyone else faced this problem and resolved by any other methods?

[SkyTreasure]

Updated to 3.2.0 fixed the issue for me.

[thush5884]

make sure that you close the metro bundler and run it again, if you've been working on two react native projects you may have left metro bundler of some other package running. this is what happened to me.

Just wanted to say thanks for this. I was getting the error as well about windowLeaked, but the real error was way above it.

I'm using React Native 0.57.3 with react-native-splash-screen 3.1.1.

I had added buildTypes (for making different build variants of my app), and when making a signed app using any of those variants it would crash. It would work with release though, and that turns out to be due to the default behaviour that react will bundle your assets automatically for release without any config from you, but any other variants have to be managed by yourself.

I was getting the error:

Scrolling further above this error in logcat inside Android Studio revealed there was a smaller but main reason for the crash on start. Running this in the virtual emulator. (Crash happened on device too)

Basically, it's saying it can't find any of the required assets since they weren't bundled so the app exits. Turns out there's nothing wrong with react-native-splash-screen.

I noticed in my build folder under android/app/build/intermediates/merged_assets for release that there is a index.android.bundle:

However, my build variant for dev didn't have this (which is the reason for the above error):

My added buildType looks like the following (in /android/app/build.gradle):

buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled enableProguardInReleaseBuilds
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android.txt"), "proguard-rules.pro"
        }
// dev is my added buildType
        dev {
            initWith release
            applicationIdSuffix ".dev"
            matchingFallbacks = ['release']
        }
}

The solution was to add the following to the top of /android/app/build.gradle before the apply statement :

project.ext.react = [
    entryFile: "index.js",
    bundleInDev: true,
    jsBundleDirdev: "$buildDir/intermediates/merged_assets/dev/mergeDevAssets/out",
]

Note that bundleInDev needs to have the first letter of your buildType name capital, or it won't work. When I tried bundleIndev it failed, it needs to be capital. This tells react that we are bundling our assets for this build variant.

The second one is jsBundleDirdev. Strangely, this one works even if named jsBundleDirDev. This one tells react where to put the bundle (named index.android.bundle).

After doing this, my problem was solved. Running Generate Signed Bundle / APK worked for my dev variant, and starting up the app no longer crashes. The file index.android.bundle was being added for dev.

Basically, this will happen if you try to build a signed bundled version of debug too apparently, since it's set to bundleInDebug: false by default from what I can see.

Hopefully this helps someone else, or points someone closer to the right direction for their problem.
