React-native-splash-screen: Where to put image files?

[arnsa]

Hello,

I am a little bit confused, but where exactly do I have to store my splash screen images for ios and android? And do they have to have a specific naming or anything like that? Thanks!

@arnsa in your \android\app\src\main\res folder u will create some folders in there as drawable-* i.e drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi e.t.c. and in each folder u will add ur splash screen image according to their sizes.
Your folder structure should be like this
|-- drawable-hdpi
|-- drawable-mdpi
....
|-- layout
|-- mipmap-hdpi
.....
|-- values

And where do we put the iOS images?

@raynoppe you can manage those through XCode - take a look at having a LaunchImage in .xcassets or using LaunchScreen.xib

If you have to manage the launch image through Xcode, what exactly is the benefit of this module?

@alxvallejo this module is to you control when the SplashScreen should hide.
For example: When you start your app, you need to check in the local storage if the user is logged or not to decide where redirect it, or you need to make some request etc.
With this module, you can hide the splashscreen only after that check, programmatically.
