Phonegap build with cordova splashscreen plugin not showing my custom splash graphic

Question

And by "custom splash graphic" I just mean my own image. No matter what I try I it always just shows the little phonegap robot. Note that I'm only concerned with Android here. Here's what I've done:

• installed the plugin via command line
• ran my original image through this converter to get it as a collection of the appropriate Android sizes

• replaced the files in these path with my own (yes, I renamed my own files to these names):

  <gap:splash gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="port-ldpi" src="res/ldpi.png" />
  <gap:splash gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="port-mdpi" src="res/mdpi.png" />
  <gap:splash gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="port-hdpi" src="res/hdpi.png" />
  <gap:splash gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="port-xhdpi" src="res/xhdpi.png" />
  

• replaced the files in these paths to my own even though it shouldn't have anything to do with splash image:

  <icon gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="ldpi" src="www/res/icon/android/ldpi.png" />
  <icon gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="mdpi" src="www/res/icon/android/mdpi.png" />
  <icon gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="hdpi" src="www/res/icon/android/hdpi.png" />
  <icon gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="xhdpi" src="www/res/icon/android/xhdpi.png" />
  

At this point I honestly don't even see where the default phonegap robot image file could be hiding in my project or what in config.xml is pointing to it.

Answer 1

In my case what I was seeing was, in fact, not the splash but rather the background image set in index.css. So while the app shows it loads the robot image... which is not the splash.
