phonegap dont show splashscreen

Question

I tried nearly everything and googled a lot, but I don't know, why this stupid splashscreen won't show up :/ I'm using phonegap 3.5 and installed the plugin via CLI.

This is my current config.xml:

    <preference name="permissions" value="none" />
    <preference name="phonegap-version" value="3.5.0" />
    <preference name="orientation" value="default" />
    <preference name="target-device" value="universal" />
    <preference name="fullscreen" value="true" />
    <preference name="webviewbounce" value="true" />
    <preference name="prerendered-icon" value="true" />
    <preference name="stay-in-webview" value="false" />
    <preference name="ios-statusbarstyle" value="black-opaque" />
    <preference name="detect-data-types" value="true" />
    <preference name="exit-on-suspend" value="false" />

    <gap:splash gap:platform="winphone" src="res/screen/windows-phone/screen-portrait.jpg" />
    <access origin="*" />
</widget>

the screenfiles are in res/drawable* and www/res/screen/android (in both paths to be sure it's not a path problem) :/

Answer 1

As and addition to tttpapi's answer, the cordova plugin can be currently found here:

Cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-splashscreen.git

Answer 2

I had the same problem.

My steps: 1) Install splash screen plugin

cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.splashscreen

2) The solution was to copy these 2 lines

<preference name="SplashScreen" value="splash" />
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000" />

to the config.xml in res/xml/config.xml. (Not in the root config.xml as it is said in the documentation)

That is all.

Then I don't even need to modify the Java classes. Or to use navigator.splashscreen.hide() or navigator.splashscreen.show().

1.Copy your splash screen image into the res/drawable directories of your Android project.

2.In the onCreate method of the class that extends DroidGap add the following two lines:

super.setIntegerProperty("splashscreen", R.drawable.splash);
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html", 10000);

The first line 'super.setIntegerProperty' sets the image to be displayed as the splashscreen. If you have named your image anything other than splash.png you will have to modify this line. The second line is the normal 'super.loadUrl' line but it has a second parameter which is the timeout value for the splash screen. In this example the splash screen will display for 10 seconds. If you want to dismiss the splash screen once you get the "deviceready" event you should call the navigator.splashscreen.hide() method.

public class MyPhoneGapActivity extends DroidGap {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    super.setIntegerProperty("splashscreen", R.drawable.splash);
    super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html", 10000);
}

}
