Alex Talis updated CB-8753:
---------------------------
Description:
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 may work, but they have to be carefully designed so that the
inside can be stretched without distorting important information.
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"/>
