---------------------------------------------------------
Here are some screen shots of Samsung Galaxy S3 emulator with current and new
behavior.
cur-port.png is when app is started in portrait orientation, so portrait
drawable is loaded. cur-land.png shows what happens when device is rotated -
the image is stretched, which is unacceptable with this type of splash screen.
new-port.png shows the app with both preferences turned on, started in portrait
orientation. When device is rotated, the landscape drawable is loaded. This
looks much better. Also notice the safe margins around the image that ensure
that "My Company" text remains fully visible on devices with different screen
aspect ratios.
The most important thing is that this functionality is very easy to use
compared to trying to create a 9-patch drawable.

> Maintain splash screen aspect ratio
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-8753
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8753
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Android
> Affects Versions: 3.7.1
> Environment: Android
> Reporter: Alex Talis
> Fix For: 3.8.0, 4.0.0, 3.7.1
>
> Attachments: cur-land.png, cur-port.png, new-land.png, new-port.png

>
> I will be submitting a pull request for this enhancement shortly.
> Current splash screen scales images non-uniformly to fit into splash dialog.
> This approach does not work well for many typical splash screen images that
> contain scenery or text and look bad when aspect ratio is not preserved.
> 9-patch images work, but they have to be carefully designed so that the edges
> can be stretched without producing undesired effects.
> The purpose of this enhancement is to allow use of non-9-patch images without
> stretching, similar to CSS "background-size:cover" capability. For this to
> work, splash images have to have large safe area all around that can be
> safely cropped off.
> With this type of splash screen, it is usually necessary to use different
> images for portrait and landscape orientations, so a second part of this
> enhancement is to add an option to reload the drawable when orientation
> changes.
> Examples of the two preferences are shown below. Both are optional and
> default to False to maintain current splash screen behavior.
> <preference name="SplashMaintainAspectRatio" value="true"/>
> <preference name="SplashReloadOnOrientationChange" value="true"/>
