Hi again, @henriquearthur ,

I tried a black background and got this error.

flutter pub pub run flutter_native_splash:create
Unhandled exception:
type 'int' is not a subtype of type 'String'
#0      createSplash (package:flutter_native_splash/flutter_native_splash.dart:15:10)
<asynchronous suspension>
#1      main (file:///C:/src/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/flutter_native_splash-0.1.6/bin/create.dart:5:3)

#3      _RawReceivePortImpl._handleMessage (dart:isolate-patch/isolate_patch.dart:172:12)
pub finished with exit code 255

Every other colour, including 'white' #ffffff works fine for me.

Is black a colour or an absence of colour and light?! That's possibly a physics question.

I will look into this later when I get home but it looks like when a hex color only has numbers like "008000" or "000000" it doesn't go into a String: String color = config['color'];.

Changing the variable type should fix this. Will publish a new version later today.

Damn, I was hoping it was physics craziness over here.

Hi Herique,

Yeah, take your time. There's no rush.

In the meantime I just put in a 95% black from w3 schools color picker and it works fine.

color: 0d0d0d gives me as near to black '000000' as possible

Does the code think '000000' is 0 the int and not '000000' the string? I'll let you handle that.

Thanks, H.

im getting the same issue it seems that it doesnt like 0's, i tried 008e93 and it gives the same error

Here's the thing. When we do this:

flutter_native_splash:
  image: splash.png
  color: 000000

YAML passes color as integer 0 to Dart. How to prevent that? Super-complicated stuff: use quotes.

flutter_native_splash:
  image: splash.png
  color: "000000"

This is how YAML syntax works. I added quotes in README.md to prevent future errors.
And now you can use # too, like: color: "#000000". I was missing that litte guy!

Thanks for the catch!

Hi again @henriquearthur

Looking forward to giving this a try today. So this was a yaml issue and not a prob for dart? Sounds about right.

I'll give it a go a bit later because right now 'pub.dev' website is down and 'flutter pub get' is not working. A bit embarrassing for Google. Must be hard for the developers like you right now.

Anyway, thanks again for all your work and contributions to the flutter community. Ciao
