In your config.xml, you need to add the following preference
`<preference name="splashscreen" value="foo" />`
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.
For Android, you also have to edit your projects main java file. You must add a second parameter representing a time delay to your super.loadUrl.
`super.loadUrl(Config.getStartUrl(), 10000);`
## splashscreen.hide
Dismiss the splash screen.
navigator.splashscreen.hide();
### BlackBerry 10 Quirk
The `config.xml` file's `AutoHideSplashScreen` setting must be `false`.
### iOS Quirk
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);
## splashscreen.show
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](http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/edge/config_ref_images.md.html)
for more information on doing this configuration. For this reason, it is
unlikely you need to call `navigator.splashscreen.show()` to make the splash
