I need an xml drawable (for a cordova splash screen) in android. I Want to display a transparent logo centered on the screen (without stretching), while the rest of the screen has a background color set.
What I tried first, was to add only the image in the xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bitmap
android:src="@drawable/splashscreen"
android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical" />
This showed the logo centered on the screen, but (obviously) has no background color.
So I tried different solutions to add a background color to that xml. For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<bitmap
android:src="@drawable/splashscreen"
android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical" />
</item>
</layer-list>
Now the image has a background color - but it is not full screen any more. It adjusts to the image size and gets stretched when showing as full screen.
So, how can I get a full screen drawable with background color, and a centered image on it?
EDIT: All answers suggest using RelativeLayout - but I think this is not possible within an xml file in "drawable", right? I do not have any layout i can edit - only a drawable which gets referenced by cordova.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:src="@drawable/splash"
android:gravity="fill_horizontal|fill_vertical" />
