White screen after splash screen

When I put the splash screen in my app, then a white screen appears and then the main screen.

I realized that it is the white screen the background my app that shows it for two seconds and then enters the main screen.

I wanted to know if there is a way to delete this page or make it last zero second?

Thanks to those who answer me!

this code is my splash screen:

[Activity(Label = "myapp", MainLauncher = true, Theme = "@style/Theme.Splash", NoHistory = true)]
    public class SplashActivity : Activity
    {
        protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);

            // Create your application here
        }


        protected override void OnResume()
        {
            base.OnResume();
            Task splashwork = new Task(async () => { await Task.Delay(3000); });
            splashwork.ContinueWith(h =>
            {
                StartActivity(new Intent(Application.Context, typeof(MainActivity)));

                TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext();
            });
            splashwork.Start();
        }
    }

You could use two activities. One activity is used to show the splash screen and the other used to show the mian activity.

Updated:

Create a Splash Screen. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/user-interface/splash-screen

Create a splash_screen.xml in drawable folder.

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

Add specifial color in Resources/values/colors.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
  ...
  <color name="splash_background">#FFFFFF</color>
</resources>

Create a Theme in Resources/values/styles.xml

 <style name="Theme_SplashScreen" parent ="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/splash_screen</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBar">true</item>

Load the splash screen in Activity_SplashScreen activity.

 [Activity(Label = "Activity_SplashScreen", Theme = "@style/Theme_SplashScreen", MainLauncher = true)]
public class Activity_SplashScreen : Activity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // Create your application here
    }
    protected override void OnResume()
    {
        base.OnResume();
        Task startupWork = new Task(() => { SimulateStartup(); });
        startupWork.Start();
    }
    // Simulates background work that happens behind the splash screen
    async void SimulateStartup()
    {             
        await Task.Delay(3000); // Simulate a bit of startup work.            
        StartActivity(new Intent(Application.Context, typeof(Activity_Screen)));
    }
}

Activity_Screen activity:

 [Activity(Label = "Activity_Screen")]
public class Activity_Screen : Activity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // Create your application here
        SetContentView(Resource.Layout.layout_Screen);
        Toast.MakeText(this, "Welcome to MainActivity", ToastLength.Long).Show();
    }
}

This is a known issue of Xamarin Forms targeting Android 10 while using NavigationPage as a wrapper of the main page, it is still not fixed by XF development team you can follow it progress/status on [Bug] White Screen in Android when using NavigationPage
