Splash screen api is showing action bar for android 12

Question

After the splash screen loads, I am getting a action bar, but I have set postSplashScreenTheme to no action bar theme. This is happening only to android 12 emulator.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
    <style name="Theme.App.Starting" parent="Theme.SplashScreen">
        <item name="windowSplashScreenBackground">@color/white</item>

        <item name="windowSplashScreenAnimatedIcon">@drawable/splash_icon</item>
        <item name="postSplashScreenTheme">@style/Theme.Design.NoActionBar</item>
        <item name="windowSplashScreenIconBackgroundColor">@color/blue</item>
        <item name="windowSplashScreenAnimationDuration">800</item>

        <item name="android:forceDarkAllowed" tools:targetApi="q">false</item>
    </style>
</resources>

Yes @MihodiLushan, now i am calling this actionBar?.hide() in my activity in on create. – Definition

Answer 1

Don't forget to call actionBar?.hide() before installSplashScreen() to hide the action bar before the main view is displayed.

    actionBar?.hide()
    val installSplash= installSplashScreen()

Add the install function on your launcher activity

class MainActivity : Activity() {

   override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
       installSplashScreen()

       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
       setContentView(R.layout.main_activity)

       ...

just a note for someone who is facing this issue and trying this solution, you must call if before setContent{......} – Hollyanne

Add this in your splash screen theme if you are using the Androidx SplashScreen compat library

   <item name="postSplashScreenTheme">@style/Theme.App</item>

Like:

<style name="Theme.App.Starting" parent="Theme.SplashScreen">
   <!-- Set the splash screen background, animated icon, and animation duration. -->
   <item name="windowSplashScreenBackground">@color/...</item>

   <!-- Use windowSplashScreenAnimatedIcon to add either a drawable or an
        animated drawable. One of these is required. -->
   <item name="windowSplashScreenAnimatedIcon">@drawable/...</item>
   <!-- Required for animated icons -->
   <item name="windowSplashScreenAnimationDuration">200</item>

   <!-- Set the theme of the Activity that directly follows your splash screen. -->
   <!-- Required -->
   <item name="postSplashScreenTheme">@style/Theme.App</item>
</style>

This should be marked as correct, worked like a charm – Freeload

It took me a day to fix this issue. Besides this issue, Android Studio cannot run the application on Android 12 and above. I had to run it manually. I found that the problem is caused by the emulator.

When I tested the application on the real device, I noticed that the AppBar did not appear. But I found another problem. On Android 9 device, SplashScreen doesnt appear, but works perfectly on Android 12 device with implementation 'androidx.core:core-splashscreen:1.0.0-beta02'.

Appbar still shown on the emulator but there is no problem on real device. Following implementation works both on all Android version.

Note: My app looks like the image above on Samsung A51. I'm investigating and trying to find a solution.

Answer 5

I've been trying to solve this for hours and no solutions worked, since I use the new Splash API, I fixed it by replacing enableEdgeToEdge() before installSplashScreen() and it worked. Solved!!

Answer 6

If application does not apply postSplashScreenTheme theme by default, changing theme programmatically can be solution for this problem!

It could be changed in MainActivity!

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setTheme(R.style.Theme_Driver) // actionBar?.hide()

        setContent {
            DriverTheme {
                AppUi(this, true)
            }
        }
    }
}

After that, there is no need to use actionBar?.hide().
