Same here. RN 0.40

Here the problem seems to be on the react-native-splash-screen module. I've commented the line: SplashScreen.show(this); in the MainApplication and the app starts.

I'll check the module later to see if I can send a PR.

Getting the same issue, commenting out SplashScreen.show(this); also prevents the crash for me.

[brunocascio]

Same problem here with the line SplashScreen.show(this);

[brunocascio]

Is a little bit confusing the name conventions, but well...

@clucasalcantara @liamfd

You need to add the line SplashScreen.show(this); inside of MainActivity.java file instead of MainApplication.java.

This is my code:

MainActivity.java

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 "fbtmobile";
    }

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

@brunocascio it can't work for me ,I have to add it to function onResume.I think it is not a good Solution。

[brunocascio]

@xxfreedom

Could you paste here the code of MainActivity.java and MainApplication.javafiles?

[masteralb]

Same issue here, reason:
wrong name for layout folder in res, the right name is: "layout" not "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="@drawable/launch_screen">
</LinearLayout>

MainActivity.java

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

MainApplication.java

@Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
            new SplashScreenReactPackage()
      );
    }

Hope this helps.

@IceNeoMax open drawable/launch_screen_bitmap.xml then remove <item android:drawable="@color/splashBackground" /> then clean and build

[aylabyuk]

This error happens to me since I mistakenly created the "layout" folder outside "res".. make sure you have the correct folder structure. "app/src/main/res/layout"

[asinel]

Same issue(
RN 0.52
Android 7.1

[clucasalcantara]

@asinel Did you check if the SplasScreen.show(this) is it in the right file (MainActivity.java instead of MainApplication.java)?

[awy1988]

I met the similar issue, the reason is I wrote a wrong file name: lauch_screen.xml , after correct it to : launch_screen.xml，everything goes well

[FreddieOD]

Same issue here
RN 55
Android 6.0

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {

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

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {

  private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {
    @Override
    public boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {
      return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
    }

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new SplashScreenReactPackage(),
      );
    }
}

This fixed it for me, I simply forgot to follow the steps for installing the png in the right folders with all the correct xml data:
Unable to start activity ComponentInfo I had to do what is described in this step:

[jsu93]

That's because you don't have:

Check the example, and copy file to your project

[janhesters]

I have the same issue. I created an elaborated question on StackOverflow.
