Landscape splash screen for Android in PhoneGap Build

Question

What should I enter to config.xml or what should I do in general, to have PhoneGap Build application's splash screen displayed correctly on Android device in landscape mode?

PhoneGap Build (used to compile) docs / blog have nothing on this. Only Portrait is covered for Android.

Since first (docs) says that using height and width is cross-platform supported, I tried to use it:

<gap:splash src="res/splash-200x320-android.png"             gap:platform="android" gap:density="ldpi"  width="200" height="320" />
<gap:splash src="res/splash-320x480-android-bada-ios.png"    gap:platform="android" gap:density="mdpi"  width="320" height="480" />
<gap:splash src="res/splash-480x800-android-bada-wp.png"     gap:platform="android" gap:density="hdpi"  width="480" height="800" />
<gap:splash src="res/splash-720x1280-android.png"            gap:platform="android" gap:density="xhdpi" width="720" height="1280" />
<gap:splash src="res/splash-320x200-android.png"             gap:platform="android" gap:density="ldpi"  width="320" height="200" />
<gap:splash src="res/splash-480x320-android-bada-ios.png"    gap:platform="android" gap:density="mdpi"  width="480" height="320" />
<gap:splash src="res/splash-800x480-android-bada-wp.png"     gap:platform="android" gap:density="hdpi"  width="800" height="480" />
<gap:splash src="res/splash-1280x720-android.png"            gap:platform="android" gap:density="xhdpi" width="1280" height="720" />

But there is no effect -- in landscape mode on my Android device I always see badly strechead portait mode version of my splash screen.

Answer 1

As per my current knowledge and after deep research, I have found that this is a confirmed bug, and we currently can't do anything about this.

PhoneGap Build (and probably PhoneGap itself as well) currently does not support landscape splash screens at all. I even tried the iOS way (like shown in the question -- using width and height params, officially not supported for Android). But it still doesn't work.

All is fine in portrait mode, but no matter what screen density Android device you'll use -- in landscape you'll see ugly deformed portrait version of splash screen.
