Description

Splash screen does not display on Android. On iOS it is displayed.

$ cordova --version
4.2.0
$ cordova create project1
$ cd project1
$ cordova platform add android ios
$ cordova emulate

The iOS simulator splash screen is displayed. However, the Android Emulator it is not displayed.

It seems to be resolved by adding the following sentence to the config.xml, but wanting to be displayed in the default state.

<preference name="SplashScreen" value="screen" />

It seems to be solved by modifying the CordovaActivity.java.
