Splash Screen Fix Implementation

Issues Found and Fixed

1. Missing Splash Screen Assets

• Problem: The launch_background.xml files were referencing non-existent splash screen images
• Fix: Updated to use the existing @mipmap/ic_launcher resource

2. Incorrect Night Mode Theme

• Problem: Night mode theme was using Theme.Light.NoTitleBar instead of Theme.Black.NoTitleBar
• Fix: Updated android/app/src/main/res/values-night/styles.xml to use proper dark theme

3. Missing Dedicated Splash Activity

• Problem: No dedicated splash screen activity to handle the initial app launch
• Fix: Created SplashActivity.kt with proper timing and transition

4. Incomplete Theme Configuration

• Problem: Missing proper theme configuration for splash screen
• Fix: Added SplashTheme to both light and dark mode styles

How It Works

1. App Launch: When the app starts, SplashActivity is launched first
2. Splash Display: Shows the app icon and name for 2 seconds
3. Transition: Automatically transitions to MainActivity (Flutter app)
4. Theme Support: Properly handles both light and dark mode themes

Testing

The splash screen has been tested with:

• ✅ Debug build compilation
• ✅ Proper resource references
• ✅ Theme compatibility
• ✅ Activity transitions

Usage

The splash screen will now automatically display when the app launches. The implementation:

• Shows for 2 seconds (configurable in SplashActivity.kt)
• Displays the app icon and name
• Supports both light and dark themes
• Transitions smoothly to the main Flutter app

Customization

To customize the splash screen:

1. Duration: Modify the delay in SplashActivity.kt (currently 2000ms)
2. Logo: Replace @mipmap/ic_launcher with your custom image
3. Colors: Update @color/splash_background in colors.xml
4. Layout: Modify activity_splash.xml for different designs
