I can't seem to show my own splash screen, every time I launch the app the default, blank splash screen is shown even though I've set up everything in launch_background.xml
and the other files in res
. I've also set up all the relevant icons in drawable
and mipmap
.
launch_background.xml:
<!-- Modify this file to customize your launch splash screen -->
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<color android:color="@color/splash" />
</item>
<!-- You can insert your own image assets here -->
<item>
<bitmap
android:gravity="center"
android:src="@drawable/splash_icon" />
</item>
</layer-list>
styles.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<!-- Theme applied to the Android Window while the process is starting when the OS's Dark Mode setting is off -->
<style name="LaunchTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar">
<!-- Show a splash screen on the activity. Automatically removed when
Flutter draws its first frame -->
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/launch_background</item>
</style>
<!-- Theme applied to the Android Window as soon as the process has started.
This theme determines the color of the Android Window while your
Flutter UI initializes, as well as behind your Flutter UI while its
running.
This Theme is only used starting with V2 of Flutter's Android embedding. -->
<style name="NormalTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">?android:colorBackground</item>
</style>
</resources>
colors.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<color name="ic_launcher_background">#191919</color>
<color name="splash">#191919</color>
</resources>
<activity>
tag in AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:launchMode="singleTop"
android:theme="@style/LaunchTheme"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|locale|layoutDirection|fontScale|screenLayout|density|uiMode"
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
<!-- Specifies an Android theme to apply to this Activity as soon as
the Android process has started. This theme is visible to the user
while the Flutter UI initializes. After that, this theme continues
to determine the Window background behind the Flutter UI. -->
<meta-data
android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.NormalTheme"
android:resource="@style/LaunchTheme"
/>
<!-- Displays an Android View that continues showing the launch screen
Drawable until Flutter paints its first frame, then this splash
screen fades out. A splash screen is useful to avoid any visual
gap between the end of Android's launch screen and the painting of
Flutter's first frame. -->
<meta-data
android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.SplashScreenDrawable"
android:resource="@drawable/launch_background"
/>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
The splash screen should show an image and a different background color but instead it just shows the default blank white screen. I'm not using a custom splash screen for this. I just want at least the colors to change but even that is not working.
Also make the changes in drawable-v21/launch_background.xml. This will be used for Android API Level 21 or higher.
