Steps to reproduce

I follow the installation instructions and it's working fine with ios but giving error in android

Reproducible sample code

styles.xml

<resources>
  <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/black</item>
    <item name="android:editTextStyle">@style/ResetEditText</item>
    <item name="android:editTextBackground">@drawable/rn_edit_text_material</item>
  </style>
  <style name="ResetEditText" parent="@android:style/Widget.EditText">
    <item name="android:padding">0dp</item>
    <item name="android:textColorHint">#c8c8c8</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/black</item>
  </style>

    <item name="windowSplashScreenAnimatedIcon">@mipmap/bootsplash_logo</item>
    <item name="postSplashScreenTheme">@style/AppTheme</item>

</resources>

MainActivity.Java

import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivityDelegate;
import com.facebook.react.ReactRootView;
import com.zoontek.rnbootsplash.RNBootSplash; // for splash screen

import expo.modules.ReactActivityDelegateWrapper;

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Set the theme to AppTheme BEFORE onCreate to support 
    // coloring the background, status bar, and navigation bar.
    // This is required for expo-splash-screen.
    setTheme(R.style.AppTheme);
    RNBootSplash.init(this);
    super.onCreate(null);
  }

AndroidManifest.xml

Something else is trying to load a file that does not seems to exists (or, if it exists, delete it):

Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #28 in com.myreactapp:layout/splash_screen_view: Failed to resolve attribute at index 0

Not related to this library, I'm closing this.

@durgeshpgs How did you fix it ? Same error here

[durgeshpgs]

@saczx The issue with expo-splash-screen module which conflict with react native bootsplash. I have removed it's references from code and work well with android. You can find details here
