Following is the splash screen code of my xamarin forms android:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
 <item>
 <bitmap
 android:gravity="fill_horizontal|fill_vertical"
 android:src="@drawable/splashbg"/>
 </item>
 <item>
 <bitmap
 android:src="@drawable/icon"
 android:tileMode="disabled"
 android:gravity="center"/>
 </item>
</layer-list>

I wanna remove the first bitmap(named splashbg) and provide a background color for the entire page. How to give background color in xamarin android? Currently showing black color.

Go through this, but not solving my issue.

Try adding android:color="#00aff0" for layer list, but not working...

Inside my splash activity theme i have set:

<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/background_splash</item>

then in drawable folder i have background_splash.axml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

 <item
 android:drawable="@color/colorSplash"/>

 <item>

 <bitmap
 android:gravity="center"
 android:tileMode="disabled"
 android:src="@drawable/logosplash"/>

 </item>


</layer-list>

and the color is in the values folder, colors.xml:

<color name="colorSplash">#2674B5</color>
