MainActivity has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView

[rmarquois]

Hello.

When I start my app compiled in release mode I've got this error :

Activity com.myapp.MainActivity has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView{415ceea8 V.E..... R.....I. 0,0-1024,552} that was originally added here
E/WindowManager(25826): android.view.WindowLeaked: Activity com.myapp.MainActivity has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView{415ceea8 V.E..... R.....I. 0,0-1024,552} that was originally added here

I fix it with the following code in the MainActivity.java :

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      SplashScreen.show(this);
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }

    // my new code here
    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
      SplashScreen.hide(this);
      super.onPause();
    }

I can't confirm that it's the best solution but it works !

I'm having the same problem over here, I tried the solution that you suggested but it didn't work. Did you find something else? Any help would be great :)

[maxhalty]

Hi, if someone else have troubles with this maybe my experience help.

I tried a lot of things, and nothing worked until I found this steps for generating a release APK on React Native official documentation:

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/signed-apk-android.html

I followed the step by step and tested the APK on my phone and now everything is working. I really don't understand why using './gradlew assembleRelease' and generating the signed APK with the Android Studio didn't work with the splash screen but with this other way of generating the APK worked perfectly.

I hope it helps.

I'm having the same problem. v3.0.0

[butchmarshall]

Yep - hitting this issue. Works fine in development, happens when running signed production build.

"react-native-splash-screen": "^3.0.1",

[bfinamore]

Was anyone able to determine a root cause for this? What's odd is I'm only running into this issue with an obfuscated Proguard build (+ signed w/ release key). When I set -dontobfuscate in proguard-rules.pro and then compile the release with minifyEnabled true it works fine. I'm using version ^3.0.1 of this library.

i'm having the same error :(

if your method is onBackPressed, then delete the super.onBackPressed(); :D

I'm having this issue on Android even on Debug mode. Works fine on iOS.
react-native 0.52.2
react-native-navigation 1.1.365
react-native-splash-screen 3.0.6

Adding this method works!

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        SplashScreen.hide(this);
        super.onPause();
    }

Thanks @rmarquois.

After 2 hours of research.
Above the problem :
android.view.WindowLeaked: Activity com.xxx.MainActivity has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.PhoneWindow$DecorView{b2059e6 V.E...... R.....ID 0,0-2048,1536} that was originally added here

I found that this error:
FATAL EXCEPTION: Thread-170 Process: com.xxx, PID: 1734 java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to load script from assets 'index.android.bundle'. Make sure your bundle is packaged correctly or you're running a packager server. at com.facebook.react.bridge.CatalystInstanceImpl.jniLoadScriptFromAssets(Native Method) at com.facebook.react.bridge.CatalystInstanceImpl.loadScriptFromAssets(CatalystInstanceImpl.java:216) at com.facebook.react.bridge.JSBundleLoader$1.loadScript(JSBundleLoader.java:33) at com.facebook.react.bridge.CatalystInstanceImpl.runJSBundle(CatalystInstanceImpl.java:234) at com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager.createReactContext(ReactInstanceManager.java:1137) at com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager.access$900(ReactInstanceManager.java:113) at com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager$5.run(ReactInstanceManager.java:944) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:818)

So after I tried to run the script below, I can install the release apk on my device.
mkdir android/app/src/main/assets
react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res

@brunolemos I was trying to run debug from Android Studio as well! The onPause fixed it for me. I think it was because there's a point where the app shows "waiting for remote debugger to connect" (e.g. connecting to Android Studio), and the crash happened before right before that. I bet Android "paused" the activity while connecting to the debugger, resulting in some sort of error within the splash screen library.

Hey!
We're having this issue in production.
Any reason why the following change haven't already been added to the lib?

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    SplashScreen.hide(this);
    super.onPause();
}

Is a PR needed? (I see there are a bunch of open PRs)

Thanks!

When I set -dontobfuscate in proguard-rules.pro and then compile the release with minifyEnabled true it works fine. I'm using version ^3.0.1 of this library.

It works fine with enableProguardInReleaseBuilds = true in release mode without setting -dontobfuscate in proguard-rules.pro with version 3.1.1.

@duongntb94 solution should fix above mentioned issue.
