- Android
- BlackBerry 10
- iOS
- Windows Phone 7 and 8
- Windows (
cordova-windows
version >= 4.4.0 is required) - Browser
Note: Extended splashscreen does not require the plugin on Windows (as opposed to Android and iOS) in case you don't use the plugin API, i.e. programmatic hide/show.
In the top-level config.xml
file (not the one in platforms
), add configuration elements like those specified here.
Please notice that the value of the "src" attribute is relative to the project root directory and not to the www directory (see Directory structure
below). You can name the source image whatever you like. The internal name in the app is determined by Cordova.

<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000" />
AutoHideSplashScreen
(boolean, default totrue
). Indicates whether to hide splash screen automatically or not. Splash screen hidden after amount of time specified in theSplashScreenDelay
preference.
<preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="true" />
SplashScreenDelay
(number, default to 3000). Amount of time in milliseconds to wait before automatically hide splash screen.
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="3000" />
Note also that this value used to be seconds, and not milliseconds, so values less than 30 will still be treated as seconds. ( Consider this a deprecated patch that will disapear in some future version. )
To disable the splashscreen add the following preference to config.xml
:
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="0"/>
iOS Quirk: to disable the splashscreen on ios
platform you should also add <preference name="FadeSplashScreenDuration" value="0"/>
to config.xml
.
FadeSplashScreen
(boolean, defaults totrue
): Set tofalse
to prevent the splash screen from fading in and out when its display state changes.
<preference name="FadeSplashScreen" value="false"/>
FadeSplashScreenDuration
(float, defaults to500
): Specifies the number of milliseconds for the splash screen fade effect to execute.
<preference name="FadeSplashScreenDuration" value="750"/>
Note: FadeSplashScreenDuration
is included into SplashScreenDelay
, for example if you have <preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="3000" />
and <preference name="FadeSplashScreenDuration" value="1000"/>
defined in config.xml
:
- 00:00 - splashscreen is shown
- 00:02 - fading has started
- 00:03 - splashscreen is hidden
Turning the fading off via <preference name="FadeSplashScreen" value="false"/>
technically means fading duration to be 0
so that in this example the overall splash delay will still be 3 seconds.
Note: This only applies to the app startup - you need to take the fading timeout into account when manually showing/hiding the splashscreen in the code:
navigator.splashscreen.show();
window.setTimeout(function () {
navigator.splashscreen.hide();
}, splashDuration - fadeDuration);
ShowSplashScreenSpinner
(boolean, defaults totrue
): Set tofalse
to hide the splash-screen spinner.
<preference name="ShowSplashScreenSpinner" value="false"/>
In your config.xml
, you can add the following preferences:
<preference name="SplashMaintainAspectRatio" value="true|false" />
<preference name="SplashShowOnlyFirstTime" value="true|false" />
"SplashMaintainAspectRatio" preference is optional. If set to true, splash screen drawable is not stretched to fit screen, but instead simply "covers" the screen, like CSS "background-size:cover". This is very useful when splash screen images cannot be distorted in any way, for example when they contain scenery or text. This setting works best with images that have large margins (safe areas) that can be safely cropped on screens with different aspect ratios.
The plugin reloads splash drawable whenever orientation changes, so you can specify different drawables for portrait and landscape orientations.
"SplashShowOnlyFirstTime" preference is also optional and defaults to true
. When set to true
splash screen will only appear on application launch. However, if you plan to use navigator.app.exitApp()
to close application and force splash screen appear on next launch, you should set this property to false
(this also applies to closing the App with Back button).
You can use the following preferences in your config.xml
:
<platform name="browser">
<preference name="SplashScreen" value="/images/browser/splashscreen.jpg" /> <!-- defaults to "/img/logo.png" -->
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="3000" /> <!-- defaults to "3000" -->
<preference name="SplashScreenBackgroundColor" value="green" /> <!-- defaults to "#464646" -->
<preference name="ShowSplashScreen" value="false" /> <!-- defaults to "true" -->
<preference name="SplashScreenWidth" value="600" /> <!-- defaults to "170" -->
<preference name="SplashScreenHeight" value="300" /> <!-- defaults to "200" -->
</platform>
Note: SplashScreen
value should be absolute in order to work in a sub-page. The SplashScreen
value is used only for the browser platform. The value will be ignored for other platforms.
- In iOS, the splashscreen images are called launch images. These images are mandatory on iOS.
SplashScreenSpinnerColor
(string, defaults to system accent color): hash, rgb notation or CSS color name.
<preference name="SplashScreenSpinnerColor" value="#242424"/>
<preference name="SplashScreenSpinnerColor" value="DarkRed"/>
<preference name="SplashScreenSpinnerColor" value="rgb(50,128,128)"/>
SplashScreenBackgroundColor
(string, defaults to #464646): hex notation.
<preference name="SplashScreenBackgroundColor" value="0xFFFFFFFF"/>
- splashscreen.show
- splashscreen.hide
Dismiss the splash screen.
navigator.splashscreen.hide();
The config.xml
file's AutoHideSplashScreen
setting must be
false
. To delay hiding the splash screen for two seconds, add a
timer such as the following in the deviceready
event handler:
setTimeout(function() {
navigator.splashscreen.hide();
}, 2000);
Displays the splash screen.
navigator.splashscreen.show();
Your application cannot call navigator.splashscreen.show()
until the app has
started and the deviceready
event has fired. But since typically the splash
screen is meant to be visible before your app has started, that would seem to
defeat the purpose of the splash screen. Providing some configuration in
config.xml
will automatically show
the splash screen immediately after your
app launch and before it has fully started and received the deviceready
event. For this reason, it is unlikely you need to call navigator.splashscreen.show()
to make the splash
screen visible for app startup.
