Where does the style file that defines the Maui.SplashTheme for Android actually live?

Question

As start-up default, .NET Maui for Android defines the MainActivity as follows:

[Activity(Theme = "@style/Maui.SplashTheme", MainLauncher = true, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation | ConfigChanges.UiMode | ConfigChanges.ScreenLayout | ConfigChanges.SmallestScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Density)]  

Which means "@STYLE /Maui.SplashTheme" indicates that the Theme is Maui.SplashTheme presumably defined as a Style in the file styles.xml.

But no such file exists.

Where exactly is the Maui.SplashTheme style that Maui defines for Android?

Hello,

It is hidden by MAUI to prevent it from being modified.

You could find the following content from Add a splash screen to a .NET MAUI app project:

On Android, the splash screen is added to your app package as Resourcs/values/maui_colors.xml and Resources/drawable/maui_splash_image.xml. .NET MAUI apps use the Maui.SplashTheme by default, which ensures that a splash screen will be displayed if present. Therefore, you should not specify a different theme in your manifest file or in your MainActivity class.:

The source code of Splash theme is here: styles.xml.

Alec Liu.
