             Summary: Android app creation is lacking a few things
                 Key: CB-1156
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1156
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Android
            Reporter: Olivier Louvignes
            Assignee: Joe Bowser


The experience of starting a new Android app is just really bad.

When we use the bin/create script there is a lot of things missing :

-> SplashScreen?!
I just can't understand why this is lacking. It is an obvious need & everyone 
has to waste time figuring out how to make it work by themselves

-> MacOSX is broken
Either using latest Lion or any version with Macports + GNUTools (replacing 
deprecated versions bundled with OSX for licensing issues - common for most 
developers).

-> The XML is missing required keys (targetSDKpath) & having invalid stuff 
inside it (xLargeScreen).

-> Most files are badly indented. Does not respect the Google guidelines for 
JAVA.

I've done most of the fixing myself:
You can find this (work in progress) there :

I'm quite disappointed on how you release a 2.0 without taking the hour needed 
to clean this mess. Instead a few hundred people will encounter the same issues 
& have a bad idea on Cordova/Phonegap.
