Steve Husting commented on CB-7809:
-----------------------------------

Clarification: When we do a cordova platform add android, all the screen and 
icon files are generated in the /platforms/android folder. To encourage people 
to use the config.xml page, all icon and screen folders should be generated in 
a myApp/res/screen/android/ folder. People would see that folder and the 
config.xml page and understand where to put their icons and screens. 

Right now they see the icons and screens in the current /platforms/android 
location and wonder how to use the config.xml for icons and screens. If the 
myApp/res/ etc. folder was created upon cordova platform add android, there 
would be no doubt, and the workflow would simply work.

>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: CordovaLib
>    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
>         Environment: Any Environment
>            Reporter: Steve Husting
>            Priority: Trivial
>              Labels: icons, splashscreen
>
> People are confused about how to update the splash screens during their 
> Android build. Why not place all the default app helloCordova icons and 
> splashes in the location you recommend, in /helloCordova/android/res/* 
> instead of in /helloCordova/platforms/android/res/*? Then fill the config.xml 
> with the lines needed to port the files over to Android via CLI as you 
> recommend. 
> This example of proper placement and config.xml usage will remove all users' 
> doubts about where to put the icons and splashes. 
> I assume you could programmatically set up the default app so that the entire 
> /platforms/android/res folder structure is reproduced in 
> /helloCordova/android/res/ to make it easy to understand where to put the 
> user's own files. They'll replace those icon.pngs and screen.pngs with their 
> own. You would program the same thing with iOS files in 
> /hellocordova/ios/res/ .
> Just a suggestion!
