React Native 0.73 Integration

[BenHurMartins]

This is not an issue, only a heads up, considering there are not new updates on this library and until we get the new README.

I had some issues implementing splash screen on the newest react native version, using kotlin and to update the AppDelegate.mm. So after some digging and fixing, I want to share a boilerplate I created for general purposes and it also includes the splash screen implementation.

To use it:

npx react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-ts-redux-navigation

Could you elaborate on the setps required to implement this on an existing React Native 0.73 project?

[ahmetcangurel]

Now projects come with Kotlin. Instead of mainActivity.java there is mainActivity.kt file. I think he's talking about this problem

[TreasWallet]

MainActivity.kt

import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen

init {
    SplashScreen.show(this)
  }

[pipo151086]

[dgreasi]

Same issue

[pipo151086]

The problem is with the release APK in a physical device!

is there anyone checking this issue?

because a found this other package: https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash

it looks that this package is no longer being mainteined!!!!

This worked for me, thanks 😊

It worked for me, just changing from java to kotlin syntax like below

// ...
import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen

class MainActivity : ReactActivity() {

  // ...
  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    SplashScreen.show(this);
  }
  // ...
}

[pipo151086]

@mannoeu & @chaudev Even with the mode=release APK?

[mannoeu]

mode=release APK

Yep, its works for me

[dominictobias]

I'm surprised onCreate worked for you, it caused a build error for me:

> Task :app:compileDevtestnetDebugKotlin FAILED
e: file:///<redacted>/android/app/src/main/java/com/<redacted>/app/android/MainActivity.kt:26:3 'onCreate' overrides nothing

Using init however worked.

init {
  SplashScreen.show(this)
}

Strange, i dont know about this

IOS crashing spalsh how to solve

[luis-cicada]

@mannoeu where did you added this block??

init {
  SplashScreen.show(this)
}

[mannoeu]

@mannoeu where did you added this block??

init {
  SplashScreen.show(this)
}

I only rename from android/app/src/main/java/com/app-name/MainActivity.java to android/app/src/main/java/com/app-name/MainActivity.kt and fixing sintax from this

// ...
public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
  // ...
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    SplashScreen.show(this);
  }
}

to this

// ...
import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen

class MainActivity : ReactActivity() {

  // ...
  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    SplashScreen.show(this);
  }
  // ...
}

But, some people commented above that this causes an error for them. They suggested using the excerpt

// ...
import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen

class MainActivity : ReactActivity() {

  // ...
  init {
    SplashScreen.show(this)
  }
  // ...
}

In my case it was not necessary. Only the syntax adjustment worked.

[luis-cicada]

@mannoeu thanks brother! It did work with

// ...
import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen

class MainActivity : ReactActivity() {

  // ...
  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    SplashScreen.show(this);
  }
  // ...
}

Hi, I only saw all the messages now, like 2 months later, well I didn't try on physical device, so I can't tell.

[luis-cicada]

@BenHurMartins I just tried on physical device and it is working fine!

[BenHurMartins]

awesome, good to know @luis-cicada , thanks. Just to be sure, did you tried the boilerplate I shared or another solution proposed here? and, iOS or android?

[Creativestarjsp]

anyone share me full guide of MainApplication.Kt and MainActivity.kt files Code? for me init { SplashScreen.show(this) } and
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { SplashScreen.show(this); super.onCreate(null) }

both are not working app getting crashed while opening

@Creativestarjsp you can follow this template

[FaresHamel]

@luis-cicada still work with you because I get this error What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':react-native-splash-screen:writeDebugAarMetadata'.

Failed to create parent directory '....../node_modules/react-native-splash-screen/android/build' when creating directory '...../node_modules/react-native-splash-screen/android/build/intermediates/aar_metadata/debug'

[aditya-464]

@BenHurMartins thanks pal! It works perfectly!!

[deivyrene]

@BenHurMartins Thanks bro!

It helped me a lot!

[bastiantowers]

For those like me that has MainActivity.kt with no override of the function onCreate at all, maybe this would help.

The lines you need to add exactly are these, in your MainActivity.kt:

After all imports you have already, add these two lines:

import android.os.Bundle; // Avoid Bundle crashing
import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen // react-native-splash-screen lib

Then, no mather where, the rest:

class MainActivity : ReactActivity() {
/* the rest of the code */
 override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
      super.onCreate(null)
      SplashScreen.show(this)
  }
}

This is working for me using react-native 0.74.

Hope this help someone still blocked using this library in newer version on RN.
