Apache Cordova splash screens not showing in Android

Question

I am running Apache Cordova 3.6.3-0.2.13. And I try to get the splash screens working. I have followed the documentation on http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.6.0/config_re

Answer 1

After carefully following the PhoneGap CLI splash screen instructions, my Android splash screen was still not showing up. I then looked at build.gradle under platforms/android and noticed that changes I made to the defaultConfig block were causing changes to AndroidManifest.xml that ultimately prevented the splash screen from working. Below is the defaultConfig block I was using:

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.leadingedje"
    minSdkVersion 17
    targetSdkVersion 21
    versionCode getAppVersionCode()
    versionName getAppVersionName()
}

When I removed this block from build.gradle, the splash screen started working again.
