Splash screen on device not working

Post by jessamy99 » Sun Jun 30, 2013 6:58 pm

Dear Team and all,

I have a mac running 10.8.4 Mountain Lion and I am using live code 5.5.3.
I have an app that will install on an Android device, but I can't get the splash screen to appear.

Any help would be gratefully received!

Thanking you all in advance.

Jessamy.

Android doesn't support splash screens the way iOS does. You can make the first card of your stack look like a splash though. When the stack opens, wait a few seconds, then go to card 2.

The splash screen entry in the standalone settings was for the trial version of LiveCode. It allowed you to customize the "splash" that LiveCode showed with their logo. On Android, RR likely implemented the splash the same way by showing a temporary stack and then going to your own app stack.
