I researched the internet and couldn't find any good tutorial on this topic.

I want to show a loading progress bar animation on my SplashScreen activity.

There are a few incomplete resources on Xamarin Android but I want to do this in Xamarin forms

Now the question is how can I do this?

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

I want to show a loading progress bar animation on my SplashScreen activity ... but I want to do this in Xamarin forms

Hi, mahmudulhasan. Xamarin.Forms project is initialized on each platform after the native startup sequence has completed. The splash screen needs to be achieved on each platform. When displaying the SplashScreen activity, the page of the shared project is not initialized yet. So it's unable to do this in Xamarin.Forms. Please create the progress bar animation in SplashScreen activity instead.

Best Regards,
