Splash screen with background image and app version text

I'm developing an app with splash screen. At the beginning the splash screen only had a background image. I added a style in Resources/values/styles.xml file:

<style name="Theme.Splash" parent="android:Theme">
  <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/splash_screen_image</item>
  <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
  <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
  <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#313131</item>
</style>

And I used it as SplashActivity's theme, (and I set the activity as main launcher):

[Activity(Label = "MY APP", Theme = "@style/Theme.Splash", MainLauncher = true, NoHistory = true,
    Icon = "@mipmap/ic_launcher", RoundIcon = "@mipmap/ic_round_launcher", ScreenOrientation = ScreenOrientation.Portrait)]
public class SplashActivity : Activity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
        this.StartActivity(typeof(MainActivity));
    }
}

It worked fine, it showed the image at startup. Now I want to add the app version to the splash screen. I created SplashScreen.axml layout file with an image and a label with "hardcoded" version number on the bottom left corner:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:background="#000000"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageView
        android:src="@drawable/splash_screen_image"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop"
        android:padding="0dp"
        android:adjustViewBounds="true" />
    <TextView
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:text="V0.6"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:id="@+id/version_text_view"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"/>

</RelativeLayout>

And added this content view in SplashActivity:

[Activity(Label = "MY APP", Theme = "@style/Theme.Splash", MainLauncher = true, NoHistory = true,
    Icon = "@mipmap/ic_launcher", RoundIcon = "@mipmap/ic_round_launcher", ScreenOrientation = ScreenOrientation.Portrait)]
public class SplashActivity : Activity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
        SetContentView(Resource.Layout.SplashScreen);
        this.StartActivity(typeof(MainActivity));
    }
}

In this case nothing happens, the Theme.Splash is displayed. Then I changed OnCreate method to start MainActivity using a timer:

[Activity(Label = "Cocina Tiflotécnica", Theme = "@style/Theme.Splash", MainLauncher = true, NoHistory = true,
    Icon = "@mipmap/ic_launcher", RoundIcon = "@mipmap/ic_round_launcher", ScreenOrientation = ScreenOrientation.Portrait)]
public class SplashActivity : Activity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
        SetContentView(Resource.Layout.SplashScreen);

        Timer timer = new Timer();
        timer.Interval = 10; // 10 millis.
        timer.AutoReset = false; // Do not reset the timer after it's elapsed
        timer.Elapsed += (object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e) =>
        {
            this.StartActivity(typeof(MainActivity));
        };
        timer.Start();
    }
}

In this case Theme.Splash is displayed first (a few seconds) and then Resource.Layout.SplashScreen layout with version number (a few seconds too). The background image is fit in different way in the theme and the layout, so the background changing is very noticeable.

Is there an elegant way to show a background with a text in the splash screen?
