App Configuration
Splash Screen
Create the branded startup screen shown while the app and initial website load begin.
Before you start
- Optional transparent logo
- Optional portrait image or short GIF
- Light and dark background colors
Configure and verify
Configure the logo
Enable the logo, upload JPG, JPEG, or PNG, and set a square display size that fits small phones.
Choose the background
Use solid colors, a static portrait image, or a GIF. Ensure foreground artwork remains readable.
Set the timeout
Use one or two seconds for most apps. Reserve longer values for intentional animations.
Choose background loading
Load the website behind the splash for faster readiness, or block loading until the splash completes when the intro must finish first.
Test cold starts
Save, rebuild, force-stop the APK, and launch on a slower device and network.
