Splash screen on Android - react-native

Question

I have a problem with the splashscreen on Android. Here is everything what I am doing:
Creating background_splash.xml file:
xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:drawable="#android:color/darker_gray"/>
<item>
<bitmap
android:gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/splash"/>
</item>
I remove < in the first two lines because stackoverflow cannot display them. This file is located in drawable.
I added the following to styles.xml:
<style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#drawable/background_splash</item>
</style>
and this is my manifest files:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.test"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="16"
android:targetSdkVersion="22" />
<application
android:name=".MainApplication"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/SplashTheme">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity" />
<activity android:name="com.facebook.react.devsupport.DevSettingsActivity" />
</application>
</manifest>
And also the activity:
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
public class SplashActivity extends ReactActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
}
This is the error I have:
Starting the app on 51d123cc (adb -s 51d123cc shell am start -n com.test/.MainActivity)...
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.test/.MainActivity }
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent { flg=0x10000000 cmp=com.test/.MainActivity } from null (pid=20601, uid=2000) not exported from uid 11152

UPDATE:
To the answer of #Ankit Prajapati I will add also that I set
android:largeHeap="true"
which was an error from Android Studio (running from the terminal this error wasn't reported) and this happen after changing activity to SplashActivity.
Also it was necessary to change edit configurations and changing "Launch Activity" to "Specified Activity" and setting com.test.SplashActivity.
Second way of managing splash screen on Android and which I use right now is with this tutorial:
Splash Screen Android

Answer 1

Try using this in
android:exported="true" in the manifest file in the activity you are trying to start (Loading Activity)
Like this
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/SplashTheme"
android:exported="true" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Also Add
Intent intent = new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
