Here's the code in launch\_background.xml

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Modify this file to customize your launch splash screen -->
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@android:color/black" /> 

    <!-- You can insert your own image assets here -->
 <item>
        <bitmap
            android:gravity="center"
            android:src="@drawable/applogo" />
    </item> 
</layer-list>

```

I have changed the color to 'black'- yet I get a white splash screen, neither do the logo shows up.
I have placed the logo (png) in the drawable folder. Can anyone help me with this?
