Creating Splash screen / Start up screen for Android app using phonegap / jqtouch

I’ve recently started working on developing andorid a app using phonegap. I have got my application on andoid phone and I notice that there was black blank screen shows up before showing the main application page. So i have decided to put a splash screen on the app and played in jqtouh but that did not help me.

After lots of searching on the internet I have learned that the changes need to be done the main activity class that inherits from DroidGap and also splash screen support on Android was added in version 0.9.3.
Now here is the simple solution:

1) Create a slash screen with splash.png filename
2) Add splash.png file to drawable-hdpi folder which is under the res folder.
3) the thread super.setIntegerProperty( “splashscreen”, R.drawable.splash ); needed to be added to DefaultActivity.java file in the onCreate method. you should place this thread before “loadURL”. For example:

Here is the method in in the relevant file (src>com.testapp>myapp.java)
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.setIntegerProperty("splashscreen", R.drawable.splash);
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
}

3) Now run the application.

Hope it works for you also….
