Answer 1

If you are experiencing this error when implementing the new SplashScreen API for Android 12, don't forget to installSplashScreen:

SplashScreen splashScreen = SplashScreen.installSplashScreen(this);

Don't forget to add this before setContentView().

Answer 2

In case is useful for anyone.

if you are using androidx.core:core-splashscreen and this error comes out, for me, using kotlin, what worked was:

calling installSplashScreen() before super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) in the onCreate method.

Importing import androidx.core.splashscreen.SplashScreen.Companion.installSplashScreen

it should look similar to:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        installSplashScreen()
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        setContentView(binding.root)
        //other methods
}
