White screen after Splash Screen react-native

Question

[EDIT] Seems to be that the white screen is generate because MainActivity is to heavy to load, i managed to solve using first a native splash screen and then right after native is killed a js implementation based on the next plugin, i did some modifications to match both splash screens perfectly https://github.com/crazycodeboy/react-native-splash-screen

SplashActivity.java

package com.appba;

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.appba;

import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;

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 "appBa";
    }
}

Any idea how to avoid that blank screen?,

I couldn't find a solution on google

My splash is based on the following approach. https://www.bignerdranch.com/blog/splash-screens-the-right-way/

Answer 1

Firstly load your LauncherActivity as MainActivity

MainActivity.java

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Intent i = new Intent(this, Splash.class);
    startActivity(i);
}

Splash.java

private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 5000;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);
    Handler handler = new Handler();
    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            finish();
        }
    }, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);
}
