title: Apache Cordova splash screens not showing in Android
body: <p>I am running Apache Cordova 3.6.3-0.2.13. And I try to get the splash screens working. I have followed the documentation on <a href="http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.6.0/config_ref_images.md.html#Icons%20and%20Splash%20Screens">http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.6.0/config_ref_images.md.html#Icons%20and%20Splash%20Screens</a>. And the icons are working, but no success for the splash screens. We are also using the Ionic framework (version 1.2.8) on top of Cordova.</p>
  
  <p>What I have done:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Added icons and splash screens to config.xml from the project root:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;preference name="SplashScreen" value="splash"/&gt;
  &lt;preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000"/&gt;
  &lt;platform name="android"&gt;
    &lt;icon src="icons/icon.png"/&gt;
  
    &lt;!-- you can use any density that exists in the Android project --&gt;
    &lt;splash src="icons/android-splash-land-hdpi.png" density="land-hdpi"/&gt;
    &lt;splash src="icons/android-splash-land-ldpi.png" density="land-ldpi"/&gt;
    &lt;splash src="icons/android-splash-land-mdpi.png" density="land-mdpi"/&gt;
    &lt;splash src="icons/android-splash-land-xhdpi.png" density="land-xhdpi"/&gt;
  
    &lt;splash src="icons/android-splash-port-hdpi.png" density="port-hdpi"/&gt;
    &lt;splash src="icons/android-splash-port-ldpi.png" density="port-ldpi"/&gt;
    &lt;splash src="icons/android-splash-port-mdpi.png" density="port-mdpi"/&gt;
    &lt;splash src="icons/android-splash-port-xhdpi.png" density="port-xhdpi"/&gt;
  &lt;/platform&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Ofcourse the <code>icons</code> directory exists and also the files are in place. When I build the project with <code>ionic run android</code> or <code>cordova run android</code>. The build process also creates the icons and splash screens into the <code>platforms/android/res/drawable</code> directory!</p>
  
  <p>Also the config file located at <code>platforms/android/res/xml/config.xml</code> is correctly updated and the <code>&lt;preference&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;icon&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;splash&gt;</code> elements are in place.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried with the <code>org.apache.cordova.splashscreen</code> plugin and also no success. I have added the plugin with <code>ionic plugin add org.apache.cordova.splashscreen</code> and also added <code>onDeviceReady</code> the code <code>navigator.splashscreen.show();</code>. But this also shows nothing.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing here?</p>
