Ionic-framework: [rc2] Splash screen not working in android

[jlno]

ionic start myApp --v2
ionic platform add android
ionic resources
ionic run android

Splash screen is not shown.

I think it's actually the cordova android 6.0 platform that causes this. Ionic resource generator needs to be updated to put resources in the right place and make sure that they are used for the latest android cordova platform.

I also noticed that when the new platform is installed it creates it's own "res" folder in the root of the project and copies some files into it but they don't seem to be used.

@jlno Are you using cordova android 6.0?

@jgw96 I'm having the same problem with cordova-android 6.0, i think it's a duplicate with driftyco/ionic-cli#1608

[jlno]

@jgw96 cordova 6.4.0

Upgrade to android platform 6.1.0 and this should be fixed, just updated my project, reran ionic resources and then build and all good.

Upgrade to android platform 6.1.0
How to do this?

[workfluo]

No need for me:
My solution with a config like:
Cordova CLI: 6.4.0 + Ionic Framework Version: 2.0.0-rc.2 + Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.4;
is basically:
after the Command $ionic resource,
in config.xml for all the

REPLACE "density" by "qualifier"
AND
in
REPLACE value="screen" by value="splash"

Hello all! I am going to close this issue as a duplicate of https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/issues/1638. This was a regression in cordova-android that has been fixed by the cordova team and released in 6.1.0. You can use the commands @ghenry22 posted above to update cordova-android platform.

You need to also
ionic plugin remove cordova-plugin-splashscreen
and
ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-splashscreen

after doing what ghenry22 said.

Otherwise, it does not work.

[ghenry22]

If you remove and add the platform the plugins should automatically remove and as well, I didnt need any extra steps but you never know, I have seen Cordova plugin. Issues resolved before by a simple remove/add
