Description

The android splash screen is not showing up despite all efforts to get it to do so. I'm just getting a white screen.

The documentation

http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/edge/config_ref/images.html

says to reference your images in the res folder.

When you generate a new project with the CLI, the res folder is under platforms/android/res not at the root of the cordova project.

When referencing an image for the build to find it I have to put in an explicit path that starts from the root, like platforms/android/res/images in order for it to be found.

I'm not sure how to get this to work and maybe the documentation just isn't up to date, but as it stands it's not working for me...
