What react-native-splash-screen version are you using?
^3.2.0

What platform does your issue occur on? (Android/iOS/Both)
Android

Describe your issue as precisely as possible :
1) Followed README and ran react-native run-android. The build brakes.
2) Error message: incompatible types: MainApplication cannot be converted to Activity

Show us the code you are using?
My MainApplication.java:

import android.app.Application
import com.facebook.react.ReactApplication;
import com.facebook.react.ReactNativeHost;
import com.facebook.react.ReactPackage;
import com.facebook.react.shell.MainReactPackage;
import com.facebook.soloader.SoLoader;
import com.facebook.react.PackageList;
import com.calendarevents.CalendarEventsPackage;
import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen;

import java.util.List;

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() {
      @SuppressWarnings("UnnecessaryLocalVariable")
      List<ReactPackage> packages = new PackageList(this).getPackages();
      // additional non auto detected packages can still be added here:
      new CalendarEventsPackage();
      // packages.add(new SomeReactNativePackage());
      return packages;
    }

    @Override
    protected String getJSMainModuleName() {
      return "index";
    }
  };

  @Override
  public ReactNativeHost getReactNativeHost() {
    return mReactNativeHost;
  }

  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
    SplashScreen.show(this);
    super.onCreate();
    SoLoader.init(this, /* native exopackage */ false);
  }
}

Hi, you might want to add the SplashScreen.show(this); in MainActivity.java instead of MainApplication.java.
Just like this:

Hope this helps!
