A splash screen API for react-native which can programatically hide and show the splash screen. Works on iOS and Android.
For React Native >= 0.47.0 use v3.+, for React Native < 0.47.0 use v2.1.0
Run npm i react-native-splash-screen --save
react-native link react-native-splash-screen or rnpm link react-native-splash-screen
Android:
- In your android/settings.gradle file, make the following additions:
include':react-native-splash-screen'project(':react-native-splash-screen').projectDir = newFile(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-splash-screen/android')- In your android/app/build.gradle file, add the
:react-native-splash-screenproject as a compile-time dependency:
...
dependencies {
...
compileproject(':react-native-splash-screen')
}- Update the MainApplication.java file to use
react-native-splash-screenvia the following changes:
// react-native-splash-screen >= 0.3.1importorg.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreenReactPackage;
// react-native-splash-screen < 0.3.1importcom.cboy.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreenReactPackage;

returnBuildConfig.DEBUG;
}
@OverrideprotectedList<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
returnArrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
newMainReactPackage(),
newSplashScreenReactPackage() //here
);
}
};
@OverridepublicReactNativeHostgetReactNativeHost() {
returnmReactNativeHost;
}

'SplashScreen.h' file not found, you have to select your project → Build Settings → Search Paths → Header Search Paths to add:$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-splash-screen/ios
Android:
Update the MainActivity.java to use react-native-splash-screen via the following changes:
importandroid.os.Bundle; // hereimportcom.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
// react-native-splash-screen >= 0.3.1importorg.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen; // here// react-native-splash-screen < 0.3.1importcom.cboy.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen; // herepublicclassMainActivityextendsReactActivity {
@OverrideprotectedvoidonCreate(BundlesavedInstanceState) {
SplashScreen.show(this); // heresuper.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
// ...other code
}iOS:
Update AppDelegate.m with the following additions:
#import"AppDelegate.h"
#import"RCTRootView.h"
#import"SplashScreen.h"// here@implementationAppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)applicationdidFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
// ...other code
[SplashScreen show]; // herereturnYES;
}
@endImport react-native-splash-screen in your JS file.
import SplashScreen from 'react-native-splash-screen'
Create a file called launch_screen.xml in app/src/main/res/layout (create the layout-folder if it doesn't exist). The contents of the file should be the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayoutxmlns: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>Customize your launch screen by creating a launch_screen.png-file and placing it in an appropriate drawable-folder. Android automatically scales drawable, so you do not necessarily need to provide images for all phone densities.
You can create splash screens in the following folders:
drawable-ldpidrawable-mdpidrawable-hdpidrawable-xhdpidrawable-xxhdpidrawable-xxxhdpi
To modify the status bar color, you can add a color called primary_dark in color.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<color name="primary_dark">#000000</color>
</resources>
Optional steps:
If you want the splash screen to be transparent, follow these steps.
Open android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml and add <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item> to the file. It should look like this:
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<stylename="AppTheme"parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. --><!--设置透明背景-->
<itemname="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
</style>
</resources>To learn more see examples
If you want to customize the color of the status bar when the splash screen is displayed:
Create android/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml and add
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<colorname="status_bar_color"><!-- Colour of your status bar here --></color>
</resources>Create a style definition for this in android/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<stylename="SplashScreenTheme"parent="SplashScreen_SplashTheme">
<itemname="colorPrimaryDark">@color/status_bar_color</item>
</style>
</resources>Change your show method to include your custom style:
SplashScreen.show(this, false, R.style.SplashScreenTheme);Customize your splash screen via LaunchImage or LaunchScreen.xib,

Use like so:
importSplashScreenfrom'react-native-splash-screen'exportdefaultclassWelcomePageextendsComponent{componentDidMount(){// do stuff while splash screen is shown// After having done stuff (such as async tasks) hide the splash screenSplashScreen.hide();}}| Method | Type | Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| show() | function | false | Open splash screen (Native Method ) |
| hide() | function | false | Close splash screen |
Issues are welcome. Please add a screenshot of you bug and a code snippet. Quickest way to solve issue is to reproduce it in one of the examples.
Pull requests are welcome. If you want to change the API or do something big it is best to create an issue and discuss it first.
