Android - init method requires an Activity type

[saperlipopette45]

Bug summary

After a fresh install of the package, everything works great on iOS.

However, I am stuck on Android when setting the following code to the MainActivity.java file :

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  RNBootSplash.init(this);
  super.onCreate(null);
}

Library version

4.7.1

3. Create the android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml as in the docs
4. Edit the AndroidManifest.xml file as in the docs
5. Edit the code in MainActivity.java

Reproducible sample code

package my.package.app;

import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivityDelegate;
import com.facebook.react.ReactRootView;
import com.swmansion.reanimated.BuildConfig;

import android.os.Bundle;
import com.zoontek.rnbootsplash.RNBootSplash;

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {

  /**
   * Returns the name of the main component registered from JavaScript. This is used to schedule
   * rendering of the component.
   */
  @Override
  protected String getMainComponentName() {
    return "MyApp";
  }

  /**
   * Returns the instance of the {@link ReactActivityDelegate}. There the RootView is created and
   * you can specify the renderer you wish to use - the new renderer (Fabric) or the old renderer
   * (Paper).
   */
  @Override
  protected ReactActivityDelegate createReactActivityDelegate() {
    return new MainActivityDelegate(this, getMainComponentName());
  }

  public static class MainActivityDelegate extends ReactActivityDelegate {
    public MainActivityDelegate(ReactActivity activity, String mainComponentName) {
      super(activity, mainComponentName);
    }

    @Override
    protected ReactRootView createRootView() {
      ReactRootView reactRootView = new ReactRootView(getContext());
      // If you opted-in for the New Architecture, we enable the Fabric Renderer.
      reactRootView.setIsFabric(BuildConfig.IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED);
      return reactRootView;
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean isConcurrentRootEnabled() {
      // If you opted-in for the New Architecture, we enable Concurrent Root (i.e. React 18).
      // More on this on https://reactjs.org/blog/2022/03/29/react-v18.html
      return BuildConfig.IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      RNBootSplash.init(this);
      super.onCreate(null);
    }
  }
}

@saperlipopette45 onCreate goes in MainActivity, not in MainActivityDelegate 😄

Move it under getMainComponentName
