I am developing an app using Xamarin.Forms and I am trying to insert the splash screen to my Android project.
I found a few tutorials for creating a splash screen with a background color and a static png image, but I want to use my svg animation as splash screen. I thought I could follow a tutorial for static image and just replace the png image with the svg animation, but it didn't work. Here's what I have so far:
On SplashActivity.cs
:
[Activity(Label = "SplashActivity", Theme = "@style/Theme.Splash", MainLauncher = true, NoHistory = true)]
public class SplashActivity : Activity
{
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Create your application here
}
protected override void OnResume()
{
base.OnResume();
Task startupWork = new Task(() => { SimulateStartup(); });
startupWork.Start();
}
async void SimulateStartup()
{
await Task.Delay(5000);
StartActivity(new Intent(Application.Context, typeof(MainActivity)));
}
}
On MainActivity.cs
:
// I only changed the MainLauncher property to false
[Activity(Label = "MyApp", Icon = "@mipmap/icon", Theme = "@style/MainTheme", MainLauncher = false, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation | ConfigChanges.UiMode | ConfigChanges.ScreenLayout | ConfigChanges.SmallestScreenSize )]
public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsAppCompatActivity
{
...
}
On styles.xml
(in the Xamarin.Android project):
<style name="Theme.Splash" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/desenhando5s</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#004632</item>
</style>
When I run the application, it only shows a black screen as splash screen and then shows my login page as always. Can anybody tell me what I have to do to set my animation as the splash screen?
(FYI: in case anyone wants to know, I created the animation using
