Worklight App Splash Screen on Android

Question

I am using Worklight for an Android application, When I try to add a splash screen ``` public class MyApp extends WLDroidGap { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); super.setIntegerProperty("splashscreen", R.drawable.splash); super.loadUrl(getWebMainFilePath(),2000); } } ``` I see the splash screen, but then, I have a black screen and the app crashes to be accurate, it shows a black screen, and when I tap on options button, it crashes When I remove the ",2000" ``` public class MyApp extends WLDroidGap { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); super.setIntegerProperty("splashscreen", R.drawable.splash); super.loadUrl(getWebMainFilePath()); } } ``` I don't see the splash screen, and the app works. I see that someone talked about that in IBM forums And there are many blog posts talking about splashsccreens for Android with PhoneGap here and here, but I dont see a solution in…

Accepted Answer

If you are on Worklight 5.0.5.x try this:

```
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    super.loadUrl(getWebMainFilePath());  // yes, this is an extra invocation
    super.setIntegerProperty("splashscreen", R.drawable.splash);
    super.loadUrl(getWebMainFilePath(), 5000);
}
```

If you are on Worklight 5.0.6.x try this:

```
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    super.setIntegerProperty("splashscreen", R.drawable.splash);
    super.bindBrowser(appView);
    super.loadUrl(getWebMainFilePath(), 5000);
}
```
