White screen before splash screen

[erennyuksell]

I'm facing the same issue https://github.com/crazycodeboy/react-native-splash-screen/issues/338#issue-389809278 @sergiulucaci's solution makes the app to start after some delay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLR65OGtic i try this solution i can't apply my splash design because he is using layer-list instead of layout. Any other solution?

I had the same issue. I just added android:windowIsTranslucent and android:colorBackground on styles.xml. Hope this works for you.

<style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
    <item name="android:colorBackground">@color/primary_dark</item> <!--Change for the color you want -->
</style>

forgot to post where I found the solution:

In file res/layout/lauch_screen.xml add android:background="#ffffff" in tag RelativeLayout

Example: <RelativeLayout              ...              android:layout_height="match_parent"              android:background="#ffffff"> </RelativeLayout>

I have created a SplashActivity

import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Bundle; import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity; public class SplashActivity extends AppCompatActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class); startActivity(intent); finish(); } }

and in AndroidManifest.xml

<activity android:name=".SplashActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/SplashTheme" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity>

SplashTheme is basic <style name="SplashTheme" parent="AppTheme"> <!-- Customize your theme here. --> <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item> </style>

@martianatwork if you use android:windowIsTranslucent and react-native-orientation-locker together it breaks react-native-orientation-locker and Android 8.0 and above.

For me what worked was this tutorial https://codingambitions.com/reactnative/how-to-add-splash-screen-in-react-native-app-for-android/

Adding true at AppTheme

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item>
    </style>

I've read somewhere that most likely the problem is in the router. I moved SplashScreen.hide() in my router's useEffect and everything works fine (there is no white screen anymore)

@jonasmedeiros thank you for the solution...did you notice that when we click app icon, it takes some time to start app and show up on screen? In debug APK it is quite noticeable, in release APK, its a short delay.

Yeap, I see delay 1 sec (only colorBackgound) before run custom splash screen https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/vitals/launch-time & <item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item> help, thx.
