I am creating an android application using apache cordova and building and running the application using eclipse mars. The problem is that the spalsh screen fades off too quickly. I want it to stay for 3000 seconds and then start fading whereas it starts fading from the start. also trying to set fading off but no luck. Heres my config file. Please help
