hey guys how feasible is it to create a lottie splash screen. Setting up the theme is easy ..reference the drawable but getting the animation to start as a lottieview is what i’m thinking about

[Muhammad Aqib]

you can start in xml or using java/kotlin.
just need to provide .json file

for a splash?

[Arkangel]

usually I would do something like this

[Arkangel]

<!-- Splash Screen Theme -->
  <style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/splash_background</item>
    <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item>
  </style>

and the drawable could be the lottie imageview but then

[Arkangel]

i’d need 2 start the animation

[Arkangel]

hence my question

[Ryan]

not sure your lottie would load immediately

[Arkangel]

yeah my thoughts exactly

[Arkangel]

and wondering if there’s a way around that other than creating an explicity splash actiivty
