Android Import not working in MainActivity.java

[kobagapu]

import com.zoontek.rnbootsplash.RNBootSplash;
IOS Working fine

[tomLadder]

I have the same issue.

[maxhaider]

same here 😔

[zoontek]

@kobagapu @tomLadder @maxhaider Details please? Which version?

[maxhaider]

@zoontek
After installed the latest version (3.1.3) the import in MainActivity.java stopped working.

Downgrading the Version to 3.1.0 also didn't help.

Versions:
node: v12.14.1
react-native-bootsplash: v3.1.3 / 3.1.2 / 3.1.0

[zoontek]

@maxhaider Did you do a Gradle sync / a cache clean?

[maxhaider]

yes

[zoontek]

@maxhaider Are you opening Android studio on the /android directory (not the root one!)

[maxhaider]

yes of course x)

[zoontek]

@maxhaider I said that because I just tried it with a fresh project (RN 0.63.4, RN-bootsplash 3.1.3) and everything went fine.

If it worked before the rollback and as the dependencies from npm doesn't change, this cannot be related to the lib.
Try using https://github.com/pmadruga/react-native-clean-project

🤔
I cloned an existing one and installed the node modules there.

Just ran react-native-clean-project, it sadly didn't solve the problem.

[zoontek]

@maxhaider The issue is probably with the cloned project then. Which RN does it use?

[maxhaider]

v0.63.4

[zoontek]

Try with a fresh project and compare it to this existing project then.

Update:
After manually linking the lib I could finally build the project.

The problem is, the splashscreen doesn't disappear now.
If i don't call RNBootSplash.init, it works just fine (but without the splashscreen of course)

edit:
When trying to call RNBootSplash.hide the following error occurs:
[TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'NativeModule.hide')]

The module seems not being linked. Something is wrong in your (auto)linking config

I'm having the same problem in 3.1.4, and could fix it by adding the manual linking config to settings.gradle:

include ':react-native-bootsplash'
project(':react-native-bootsplash').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-bootsplash/android')

This project has yarn workspaces, and some extra resolver config in metro.config.js to find dependencies in other places, but I'd be surprised if that's the cause. We have many other RN packages and this is the only one which doesn't autolink correctly on Android. RN does add new RNBootSplashPackage() to PackageList, but just not the settings.gradle config. Autolinking works fine for iOS.

[zoontek]

@adapptor-kurt Did it worked on previous versions? And did it continue to happen when your rollback?

This might be related to a change in react-native-cli: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli

I need to investigate, but I cannot reproduce it with a clean project.

[adapptor-kurt]

@zoontek it seems to have resolved itself now. I have been switching branches so it's difficult to know what fixed it, but I would recommend anyone having this problem try an Invalidate Caches/Restart in Android Studio and/or a git clean.

[zoontek]

I'm closing this since it seems impossible to reproduce.

With version 4.3.2, I encounter the same issue. Indeed, just adding the config in settings.gradle solved the problem. Doing the whole manual linking process causes a package declaration duplication error
