iOS splash screen options for Cordova? - ios

Question

I have to set the duration of a splash screen. In Android this is quite simple:
(android)config.xml:
<preference name="SplasScreen" value="screen"/>
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="2000"/>
SplashScreen: value = splashscreen name in the res/drawable directory. It's recommended to have one name (screen.png) for all types of resolution.
SplashScreenDelay: value = delay in ms (2s)
I have no idea how this could be applied to iOS. At the moment I have set all splashScreens which are loaded at the app-start. After that I have a white screen with a spinner before my app-content is displayed.
This is my standard xml-setting:
(iOS)config.xml:
<preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="true" />
<preference name="FadeSplashScreen" value="true" />
<preference name="FadeSplashScreenDuration" value=".25" />
<preference name="ShowSplashScreenSpinner" value="true" />
If I set ShowSplashScreenSpinner to false, the spinner doesn't appear. Updates to the rest of the settings don't take any effects.
Does anyone know what to do to show a splashScreen in iOS for a optional time?

Answer 1

You can set it a bit differently like this:
First set:
<preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="false" />
So it will not hide the splashscreen automatically.
Second:
In your index.html do this:
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
setTimeout(function() {
navigator.splashscreen.hide();
}, 2000);
}
This will hide the splashscreen 2 seconds after the onDeviceReady event.
Instead of 2000 milliseconds you can set whatever you want. This setting should work for both Android and iOS.

Answer 2

in config.xml update
<preference name="FadeSplashScreenDuration" value="800" />
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="3000" />
So it will not hide the splashscreen time and whitescreen automatically.
