Splash screen background color is always black if dark mode is on

Bug Report

Problem

With the new splash screen API configured correctly I always get a black background color on the splash screen if my device is in dark mode.

What is expected to happen?

I expect to have my splash screen background color set to AndroidWindowSplashScreenBackground or have another way to set it for dark mode.

What does actually happen?

Background color is correct when dark mode is off but always black if on.

I've just tested in an Android 12 simulator and splash screen got the correct color on light / dark mode.
The problem occurs on device ( Xiaomi 11 - Android 12 ), so it might be related to MIUI.
Could anyone confirms if the slash screen background color is working on a Xiaomi device with dark mode activated ?

In the same device, the .png image I set in AndroidWindowSplashScreenAnimatedIcon appears square instead of circular, like on other devices.

Xiaomi - Redmi Note 10 Pro.
"AndroidWindowSplashScreenBackground" value is not respected.
How can I have a same color for both light and dark mode?

Seems to be a common problem for Xiaomi mobiles... Would also love to know how to work around this...

Setting the android:windowBackground to the desired color in the splash screen theme fixes the issue (Tested on a Redmi note 10s).

Are you on Android 12 ?

[geshub]

yes, on android 12 with miui 13

Thanks, do you have any other variables set for dark mode, because I've got android:windowBackground set in a theme.xml and it's still black when dark mode is on ?

We could reproduce this issue on Xiaomi Redmi 9A (M2006C3LG) with Android 11 (RP1A.200720.011), and both MIUI 12.5.3, 12.5.7. Our app works fine in light mode.

Suggested fix by @DeVictorVH didn't worked. The custom color for android:windowBackground was shown in light mode but in dark mode the display remained black. As a workaround we disabled dark mode for our app in "Settings - Display - More dark mode options" on problematic devices.

Same issue here, both splash screen color and png image are showing the expected behaviour on light mode. Although, the image is being displayed in a square format and the screen color gets black when on dark mode.
Does anyone know a way to prevent dark mode from being activated in this case?

Same issue, try to add:
uiManager.setApplicationNightMode(MODE_NIGHT_NO) or setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_NO), but nothing is changed
Device info: Redmi Note 10S MIUI Global 14.0.1 Android 13

This is a huge issue in Miui.. and no user goes in the system settings and turns off dark mode for a single app. So now my app looks broken right at the splash screen. Any working solution would be welcome here.
