# Bug Report
## Problem
Upgrading to cordova-android@11 and the new splashscreen system comes with 2
regressions in my app:
1. Android does not seem to use the splashscreen API for home/launcher app
(tested in `system-images;android-31;default;x86_64`), which result in
splashscreen completely missing in my app; there is no redraw on screen until
my app closes the splashscreen
2. there is no no way to reshow the splashscreen; this is a bummer as the
previous splashscreen system was a very convenient interstitial screen to use
while the app was reloading
To reproduce:
1. create a new app
2. add cordova-android@11 platform
3. use preferences:
```
<preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="false" />
<preference name="FadeSplashScreen" value="false" />
<preference name="ShowSplashScreenSpinner" value="false" />
<preference name="RemoveSplashScreenOnPause" value="false" />
```
4. add utility button in `www/index.html`:
```
<button id="splashscreen-button">Show splashscreen</button>
```
5. edit `www/js/index.js`:
```
function showTemporarySplashscreen() {
navigator.splashscreen.show();
setTimeout(() => navigator.splashscreen.hide(), 3000);
}
function onDeviceReady() {
...
setTimeout(() => navigator.splashscreen.hide(), 3000);
document.getElementById('splashscreen-button').addEventListener('click',
showTemporarySplashscreen, false);
}
```
6. edit activity in `platforms/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`:
```
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
```
### What is expected to happen?
1. splashscreen is always displayed at startup
2. it is possible to reshow the splashscreen at runtime
### What does actually happen?
When starting the app from the app drawer, the splashscreen is displayed.
But when installing the app as the default launcher, killing the app, and
restarting, one can see no splashscreen is displayed by Android.
Also the inability to reshow the splashscreen is a real regression IMO. I
understand the limitation of the new SplashScreen API, but maybe it would have
been better to design the new cordova splaschreen system as a complement to the
legacy system, with opt-in capability for the legacy system, instead of fully
replacing the legacy system with loss of functionality.
