[solved] Android: How do I set my own themes.xml?

[arly]

Hi,

In Android, I notice there are ways to disable splash screen icon starting from Android 12 (API 31) using themes.xml, like this:

In typical Android Studio project, I can add them in res/values folder.

The problem is, how do I have access to these files in Defold? The only thing I can access is AndroidManifest.xml.

Thank you!

You can include additional files, shared or platform specific, with your project bundle using the Bundle Resources field:

Thank you, it works!

What I did:

• Created “bundle/android/res/values” and “…/values-v31” (for API 31+) folders in the Defold project root
• Put the themes.xml in those folders, with the one with no splash screen icon feature in values-v31 (with parent=“android:Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen”, cause AppCompat doesn’t work as it will give linking errors, I assume it’s because Defold doesn’t use AndroidX’s AppCompat, not sure. I also assume this relates to some stuff like colorBackground, statusBarColor, navigationBarColor, and windowSplashScreenBackground won’t work, if referring to my first post’s example. Not that it matters for me for now)
• Created a copy of built-in’s AndroidManifest.xml with android:theme targeted to my theme, in this case “@style/Theme.MyFullScreen”
• Have the game.project → Android → Manifest to point to the created AndroidManifest.xml
• Put “bundle” to Bundle Resources in game.project → Bundle Resources

Tested on Android 13 device.

I can take a quick look if you can share a full Defold project where you have set this up. I’m sure it’s something trivial that you have overlooked, or something that is unclear in the OPs instructions.

• Put “bundle” to Bundle Resources in game.project → Bundle Resources

You have put several of the subfolders into the Bundle Resources field:

You should only put bundle there:
