How to set the position of spinner with cordova

I have this in my config.xml

<preference name="show-splash-screen-spinner" value="true" />

And the spinner works great, however i need to change the position from center to something like center + 10% vertically

There is any way of doing this?

Solution

  • You have to fork the original cordova-plugin-splashscreen on github

    Then on your config.xml you change it to use your fork, remove the original plugin (something like <plugin name="cordova-plugin-splashscreen" source="npm" />) and add your fork <plugin spec="https://github.com/youruser/cordova-plugin-splashscreen.git" />

    You have to change this lines to do what you want https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-splashscreen/blob/master/src/android/SplashScreen.java#L355-L370

    Right now it centers the dialog, I'm not really sure how to accomplish what you want, you'll have to figure out how Android layouts work

    You can try to use setY as progressBar is a View subclass, something like this:

    DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
int height = displaymetrics.heightPixels;
float position = (float) (height*0.4);
progressBar.setY(position);
