Android crash with translucent splash screen

Question

I was tried to remove system white splash before actual splash screen on application start. I follow this topic: How To fix white screen on app Start up? and created translucent style for splash activity:

<style name="Splash" parent="@android:style/Theme.Translucent">
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
        <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
        <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
        <item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item>
    </style>

But at first launch after the installation, application crashed with the following unhandled exception:

After first launch application starts normally. Can I fix this behaviour? I'm using latest android support library, if this is important

Answer 1

Change you activity entry in manifest with this. This will remove the white splash( as the theme is translucent) & your actual splash will be visible.

<activity
    android:name=".SplashActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
