App Stuck on relaunching first time from icon in Android

[haris008]

Step 1 : Install app - Splash shows and close as expected
Step 2 : put app in background by pressing home button
Step : open app from launcher icon, it is stucked at splash screen.

After closing app, it works okay. Only happens on fresh install.

@haris008 : Please use launch mode as "Single Task" in main activity of android manifest. This issue will be gone.

@bhatti-waqas I have the same issue, but when clicking on android Back button in step 2 above, tried you solution and unfortunately it didn't work for me. Is there something else I can try to support also this case ?

[bhatti-waqas]

@tamirwd: Can you please make sure closing splash screen code i.e
SplashScreen.close({ animationType: SplashScreen.animationType.scale, duration: 850, delay: 500, });
is getting executed when you re-run the app ?

@bhatti-waqas actually it's not. so I need to detect that the app is re-opened and call this method ? but I thought the splash screen should not even appear in this case no ?

[bhatti-waqas]

@tamirwd: Yes, you are right. actually I am not very good with android life cycle. I am an ios developer.
So in my case splash screen was re-appearing when opening app again. And I made sure I close it with the code provided. In my landing screen.

@bhatti-waqas ok, I used AppState.addEventListener to detect when app is resumed, then I call SplashScreen.close again and it works ! thanks.

@Chetan8488 : put below code in onCreate() method of SplashActivity.

if (!isTaskRoot()
&& getIntent().hasCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER)
&& getIntent().getAction() != null
&& getIntent().getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_MAIN)) {

        finish();
        return;
    }
