Splash screen image size - blackberry

Question

I am creating a splash screen for my BlackBerry app. Right now the image is not properly placed in all the simulators on which I am testing.
What should be the size of my image for the splash screen, so that it fits in all the device sizes?

The main part is, creating Startup Class which extends UiApplication.
This is the StartUp.java
public class StartUp extends UiApplication
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
StartUp start=new StartUp();
start.enterEventDispatcher();
}
public StartUp()
{
this.pushScreen(new SplashScreen());
invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
try
{
Thread.sleep(2000);// Sleeps it for few seconds
UiApplication.getUiApplication().popScreen(UiApplication.getUiApplication().getActiveScreen());
pushScreen(new LoadingScreen());
}
catch (Exception e)
{
exceptionHandling(e.getMessage());
}
}
});
}
public static void exceptionHandling(final String exception)
{
UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
Dialog.alert(exception);
}
});
}
}
and the SplashScreen.java
public class SplashScreen extends MainScreen
{
Bitmap bitmap=Bitmap.getBitmapResource("loading-screen.png");//This is my company logo;
BitmapField loadingImage=new BitmapField(bitmap);
public SplashScreen()
{
createGUI();
}
private void createGUI()
{
try
{
VerticalFieldManager vertical=new VerticalFieldManager()
{
protected void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawBitmap(0, 0,Display.getWidth(),Display.getHeight(), bitmap, 0, 0);
super.paint(g);
}
protected void sublayout(int maxWidth, int maxHeight)
{
super.sublayout(Display.getWidth(),Display.getHeight());
setExtent(Display.getWidth(),Display.getHeight());
}
};
// Nothing to write;
add(vertical);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
StartUp.exceptionHandling(e.getMessage());
}
}
}
and your FirstScreen.java
public class FirstScreen extends MainScreen
{
VerticalFieldManager vertical;
public FirstScreen()
{
createGUI();
}
private void createGUI()
{
setTitle("Loading Screen");
vertical=new VerticalFieldManager()
{
protected void sublayout(int maxWidth, int maxHeight)
{
super.sublayout(Display.getWidth(),Display.getHeight());
setExtent(Display.getWidth(),Display.getHeight());
}
};
add(vertical);
}
public boolean onMenu(int instance)
{
return true;
}
}
Try this you can get.

Just take any image like 400X400 and put that image to your project's res folder.
Then
in splash screen class file you can resize the image with device's height & width.
Bitmap splashImage = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("Splash.png");//your splash screen's name with it's extension if it is PNG then .png & if JPG then .jpg
Bitmap scale = new Bitmap(Display.getWidth(),Display.getHeight());
splashImage.scaleInto(scale, Bitmap.FILTER_BILINEAR);
VerticalFieldManager mainManager = new VerticalFieldManager(
VerticalFieldManager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL
| VerticalFieldManager.USE_ALL_HEIGHT
| VerticalFieldManager.USE_ALL_WIDTH) {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawBitmap(0, 0, scale.getWidth(), scale.getHeight(), scale, 0, 0);
super.paint(g);
}
};
add(mainManager);
//This vertical field can set your converted image as screen background
// Note :- you must have to extends FullScreen insteadOf MainScreen
