Splash screen on OnAppLinkRequestReceived in Xamarin.Android doesn't show

Question

Hi,

My splash screen of Xamarin.Android works when I tap the app.

The app can also be started via OnAppLinkRequestReceived. But in this case, there is no splash screen. Only a white sceen is shown.

I have googled for this issue, changed my codes. But it is not fixed yet.

Could you give me an advice? Thank in advance.

My codes:

1.SplashActivity

namespace App1.Droid
{
[Activity(Theme = "@STYLE /MyTheme.Splash", MainLauncher = true, NoHistory = true)]
public class SplashActivity : Android.App.Activity
// I tried this line. It didn't help : public class SplashActivity : AndroidX.AppCompat.App.AppCompatActivity
{
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);

        string action = Intent.Action;  
        string strLink = Intent.DataString;  
        Intent intent = new Intent(Application.Context, typeof(MainActivity));  
        if (Android.Content.Intent.ActionView == action && !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(strLink))  
        {  
            intent.SetAction(Intent.ActionView);  
            intent.SetData(Intent.Data);  
        }  
        StartActivity(intent);  
    }  
}  

}

2.MainActivity

namespace App1.Droid
{
[Activity(Label = "AxinMobile", Icon = "@mipmap/icon", Theme = "@STYLE /MainTheme", MainLauncher = false, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation | ConfigChanges.UiMode | ConfigChanges.ScreenLayout | ConfigChanges.SmallestScreenSize )]
[IntentFilter(new[] { Android.Content.Intent.ActionView },
Categories = new[] { Android.Content.Intent.CategoryDefault, Android.Content.Intent.CategoryLauncher, Android.Content.Intent.CategoryBrowsable },
AutoVerify = true,
DataSchemes = new[] { "http", "https" ,""}
)]
public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsAppCompatActivity
{
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.Init(this, savedInstanceState);  
        global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, savedInstanceState);  
        LoadApplication(new App());  
    }  
    public override void OnRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, string[] permissions, [GeneratedEnum] Android.Content.PM.Permission[] grantResults)  
    {  
        Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);  

        base.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);  
    }  
}  

}

3. styles.xml
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
   <resources>
   <style name="MyTheme.Splash" parent ="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
   <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/splashscreen</item>
   <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
   <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
   <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@Null </item>
   <item name="android:windowActionBar">true</item>
   </style>
   </resources>

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

But in this case, there is no splash screen. Only a white sceen is shown.

To display the splash screen when using deeplinking, please move the IntentFilter configuration from MainActivity to SplashActivity as below.

   [Activity(Theme = "@style/MyTheme.Splash", MainLauncher = true, NoHistory = true)]  
   [IntentFilter(new[] { Android.Content.Intent.ActionView },  
   Categories = new[] { Android.Content.Intent.CategoryDefault, Android.Content.Intent.CategoryLauncher, Android.Content.Intent.CategoryBrowsable },  
   AutoVerify = true,  
   DataSchemes = new[] { "http", "https", "" }  
   )]  
   public class SplashActivity : Android.App.Activity  
   {  
       protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)  
       {  
           base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);  
     
           string action = Intent.Action;  
           string strLink = Intent.DataString;  
           Intent intent = new Intent(Application.Context, typeof(MainActivity));  
           if (Android.Content.Intent.ActionView == action && !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(strLink))  
           {  
               intent.SetAction(Intent.ActionView);  
               intent.SetData(Intent.Data);  
           }  
           StartActivity(intent);  
       }  
   }  

And to test this function, please close your application on the device first.
Best Regards,
