+# org.apache.cordova.splashscreen
+
+This plugin displays and hides a splash screen during application launch.
+
+## Installation
+
+    cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.splashscreen
+
+
+## Supported Platforms
+
+- Amazon Fire OS
+- Android
+- BlackBerry 10
+- iOS
+- Windows Phone 7 and 8
+- Windows 8
+
+
+## Methods
+
+- splashscreen.show
+- splashscreen.hide
+
+### Android Quirks
+
+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
+screen visible for app startup.
