Compilation screws up android splash images

1

At this point I am just trying to get to the working app I had with Phonegap.

For icons and splashscreens, I do not want to use cordova-res as it changes the aspect ratios and creates too many unnecessary images. I have no resources.json, splashTemplate.png or iconTemplate.png in my zip. Not the foreground and background android images either.

However, despite my config.xml, the compilation generates screen.9.png files that seem non-9-patch versions of my 9-patch PNGs (they have 2 less pixels high and wide). On the phone the result is terrible in portrait mnode, the image in the splash screen is zoomed in and clipped by the screen size. Looking at old APKs generated by Phonegap, the same files were generated, but worked fine.

The relevant lines from my config,xml
(I’ve used the same equivalent lines in Phonegap for years)

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-splashscreen" />

<platform name="android">
<splash src="resources/android/splash/screen-ldpi.9.png" density="ldpi" />
<splash src="resources/android/splash/screen-mdpi.9.png" density="mdpi" />
<splash src="resources/android/splash/screen-hdpi.9.png" density="hdpi" />
<splash src="resources/android/splash/screen-xhdpi.9.png" gdensity="xhdpi" />
<splash src="resources/android/splash/screen-xxhdpi.9.png" density="xxhdpi" />
<splash src="resources/android/splash/screen-xxhdpi.9.png" density="xxxhdpi" />

<icon src="resources/android/icon/icon-36-ldpi.png" density="ldpi" />
<icon src="resources/android/icon/icon-48-mdpi.png" density="mdpi" />
<icon src="resources/android/icon/icon-72-hdpi.png" density="hdpi" />
<icon src="resources/android/icon/icon-96-xhdpi.png" density="xhdpi" />
<icon src="resources/android/icon/icon-144-xxhdpi.png" density="xxhdpi" />
<icon src="resources/android/icon/icon-192-xxxhdpi.png" density="xxxhdpi" />
 </platform>

This should work.

Have you made sure that your Cordova-plugin-splashscreen is up to date ?

How does the volt builder sample look for you when you build that?

Perhaps you may also want to play with the preference:

<preference name="SplashMaintainAspectRatio" value="true|false" />

…mentioned here:

Also are you testing on a certain Android Device?

That was indeed the problem. I added it in the hope that cordova-res would not distort the aspect ratio of the logo with being fully aware of what it did.

Thanks a million, Burfelt!!!
