This plugin displays and hides a splash screen during application launch. It is forked for custom logic of for iOS devices. The only change is that spinner indicator for iOS can be controlled for showing.

If you want the spinner to be shown add in global config.xml this preference line

<preference name="shouldShowTopActivityIndicatorSpinnerSplash" value="true"/> 

The default option is false

• splashscreen.show
• splashscreen.hide

In your config.xml, you need to add the following preferences:

<preference name="SplashScreen" value="foo" />
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000" />

Where foo is the name of the splashscreen file, preferably a 9 patch file. Make sure to add your splashcreen files to your res/xml directory under the appropriate folders. The second parameter represents how long the splashscreen will appear in milliseconds. It defaults to 3000 ms. See Icons and Splash Screens for more information.

Dismiss the splash screen.

navigator.splashscreen.hide();

The config.xml file's AutoHideSplashScreen setting must be false. To delay hiding the splash screen for two seconds, add a timer such as the following in the deviceready event handler:

    setTimeout(function() {
        navigator.splashscreen.hide();
    }, 2000);

Displays the splash screen.

navigator.splashscreen.show();

Your application cannot call navigator.splashscreen.show() until the app has started and the deviceready event has fired. But since typically the splash screen is meant to be visible before your app has started, that would seem to defeat the purpose of the splash screen. Providing some configuration in config.xml will automatically show the splash screen immediately after your app launch and before it has fully started and received the deviceready event. See Icons and Splash Screens for more information on doing this configuration. For this reason, it is unlikely you need to call navigator.splashscreen.show() to make the splash screen visible for app startup.
