Hi Mihaela,

Greetings from Syncfusion.

We have prepared a sample to show the SfBusyIndicator in Splash Screen to achieve your requirement in the Android Platform. Please find the below code snippet and sample for this,

Code Snippet:

public class SplashScreen : Activity
{
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
linearLayout.Orientation = Orientation.Vertical;
linearLayout.LayoutParameters = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(500, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MatchParent);
linearLayout.SetBackgroundColor(Android.Graphics.Color.White);
SfBusyIndicator busyIndicator = new SfBusyIndicator(this);
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);
imageView.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.user);
imageView.LayoutParameters = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MatchParent, 50);
busyIndicator.AnimationType = Com.Syncfusion.Sfbusyindicator.Enums.AnimationTypes.Ball;
busyIndicator.LayoutParameters = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MatchParent, 100);
busyIndicator.TextColor = Color.Red;
busyIndicator.IsBusy = true;
linearLayout.AddView(imageView);
linearLayout.AddView(busyIndicator);
SetContentView(linearLayout);
Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, savedInstanceState);
System.Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(o => LoadActivity());
void LoadActivity()
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000); // Simulate a long pause
RunOnUiThread(() => StartActivity(typeof(MainActivity)));
}
}
}

We could not have the Animation in SplashScreen for iOS LaunchScreen. Please check the below,

Hi Mihaela,

Thanks for the information.

We would like to let you know that we also could achieve like your last mentioned update with SfBusyIndicator in one page and navigating to the other page as per your requirement. It will be more as the SplashScreen requirement without being defined in the LaunchScreen.

Please check with the above and let us know if you have any concerns.

Hi Mihaela,

Thanks for the response.

We would like to let you know that we have provided manual delay using Task.Delay in the AnimatePage. Please use the desired delay to achieve your requirement.

Please let us know if you have any concerns.
