React Native Splash Screen: Unfortunately <APP> has stopped after SplashScreen.show()

I'm building a React Native App and I'm using React Native Splash Screen for my splash screen.

Let me give you my code first, then I'll explain the issue.

res/drawable/background_splash.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@color/blue" />
    <item
        android:width="200dp"
        android:height="200dp"
        android:drawable="@mipmap/icon_splash"
        android:gravity="center" />
</layer-list>

SplashActivity.java:

package com.painbutton;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.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();
    }
}

MainActivity.java:

package com.painbutton;

import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.os.Bundle;

import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen;

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
    /**
     * Returns the name of the main component registered from JavaScript. This is
     * used to schedule rendering of the component.
     */
    @Override
    protected String getMainComponentName() {
        return "painbutton";
    }

    @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
        Intent intent = new Intent("onConfigurationChanged");
        intent.putExtra("newConfig", newConfig);
        this.sendBroadcast(intent);
    }

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

AndroidManifest.xml:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.painbutton">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>

    <application
      android:name=".MainApplication"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:allowBackup="false"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity
            android:name=".SplashActivity"
            android:theme="@style/SplashTheme"
            android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

      <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
          android:exported="true">
      </activity>
      <activity android:name="com.facebook.react.devsupport.DevSettingsActivity" />
    </application>

</manifest>

My image is inside res/ and then I have one icon.png for each pixel density.

When I know run the app, it crashes saying 'unfortunately, painbutton has stopped'.

Here is the error log:

What is going on? Why is my app crashing?

Solution

  • My first answer got deleted. I appended information so that this hopefully does not get deleted, because I fixed it. I followed this tutorial. Make sure to watch till the end. If you skip the last 2 minutes you will still get the same problem I described in this question.

    For me the fix was to create a file in res/layouts/launch_screen.xml:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/blue"
    android:gravity="center">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="200dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="24dp"
        android:src="@drawable/launch_screen"/>

</LinearLayout>

    And add <color name="primary_dark">#329baf</color> to my res/values/colors.xml file.
