    Description

      When using something like

          <platform name="android">
              <icon src="www/stample_icon.png" density="ldpi" />
              <icon src="www/stample_icon.png" density="mdpi" />
              <icon src="www/stample_icon.png" density="hdpi" />
              <icon src="www/stample_icon.png" density="xhdpi" />
              <splash src="www/stample_splash.png" density="land-hdpi"/>
              <splash src="www/stample_splash.png" density="land-ldpi"/>
              <splash src="www/stample_splash.png" density="land-mdpi"/>
              <splash src="www/stample_splash.png" density="land-xhdpi"/>
              <splash src="www/stample_splash.png" density="port-hdpi"/>
              <splash src="www/stample_splash.png" density="port-ldpi"/>
              <splash src="www/stample_splash.png" density="port-mdpi"/>
              <splash src="www/stample_splash.png" density="port-xhdpi"/>
          </platform>
      

      The splash screen items are copied to their respestive android folders:

      copying image from /home/sebastien/Desktop/Stample-react/cordova/www/stample_splash.png to /home/sebastien/Desktop/Stample-react/cordova/platforms/android/res/drawable-land-ldpi/screen.png

      copying image from /home/sebastien/Desktop/Stample-react/cordova/www/stample_splash.png to /home/sebastien/Desktop/Stample-react/cordova/platforms/android/res/drawable-port-ldpi/screen.png
      copying image from /home/sebastien/Desktop/Stample-react/cordova/www/stample_splash.png to /home/sebastien/Desktop/Stample-react/cordova/platforms/android/res/drawable-port-mdpi/screen.png
      copying image from /home/sebastien/Desktop/Stample-react/cordova/www/stample_splash.png to /home/sebastien/Desktop/Stample-react/cordova/platforms/android/res/drawable-port-xhdpi/screen.png
      

      They are always copied with the name "screen.png"

      If we don't use the option

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

      Then the splash screen we declare in the xml is simply ignored. The value must be = "screen".

      I think this should be documented, or better: be made the default behavior when a splash screen is declared.
