Adobe AIR Development

I can't seem to get my splash screen to show up in my Landscape-only BB10 game.

I tried

 <splashscreen>portrait.png:landscape.png</splashscreen>

wich works fine in my other (portrait and landscape) app - (I just made up a portrait version of my splash as well to fit the syntax).

Then I tried

 <splashscreen>:landscape.png</splashscreen>

and

 <splashscreen>landscape.png</splashscreen>

Then I tried the format suggested in this article

http://devblog.blackberry.com/2012/11/porting-air-playbook-apps-to-blackberry-10/ :

	<splashScreens>
	<!-- <image>splash-1024x600.jpg</image> -->
	<!-- <image>splash-600x1024.jpg</image> -->
	     <image>splash-768x1280.png</image> 	  
	     <image>splash-1280x768.png</image>  
	</splashScreens> 

 (and yes, I did change the names of my files accordingly - even though I'm not sure which is supposed to be the portrait and which the landscape one, and I also tried commenting out one either of the two files  )

I checked that the files are in the .bar file, and the Manifest always shows something like this, which sounds about right:

  Entry-Point-Splash-Screen: {1280x768}air/splash-1280x768.png

   or when I use two files

  Entry-Point-Splash-Screen: {1280x768}air/splash-1280x768.png:{1280x768}air/splash-768x1280.png

But no splash screen ever shows up unless I set

    <autoOrients>true</autoOrients>
in the -app.xml file ....

Can anyone think of  anything else I can try?

I have:
<splashscreen>assets/splash.png:assets/splash_portrait.png</splashscreen>

That seems to work fine.

and do you have  <autoOrients>false</autoOrients> in the -app.xml file ?

In my case, I am allowing rotation. Try placing the same filename twice with the colon in between to see if that will work in your case.

[apman]

I already tried that ... :-(   but thanks for the suggestion

[pyth · Accepted solution]

have you tried setting the aspectRatio? I'm using this for all my landscape apps

	<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
	<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
    <fullScreen>false</fullScreen>
    <visible>true</visible>

 and in your bardsescriptor / blackberry-tablet.xml just

<splashscreen>splash.png</splashscreen>

[apman]

ah, excellent - that was it!  Thank you very much!

(I'm a bit embarrassed though - I've become so used to scrolling past all those xml settings that are commented out and that I've never needed, that it didn't even occur to me to have look in there - else I could have thought of trying the <aspectRatio> setting!)

Thanks

On the new spashScreens choices, should I assume they are looking for specific file names to know which ones to use or do they look at the image size to know which one to use?

[apman]

It seems to use the image size.  I'm actually using this :

	<splashScreens> 
		<image>splash-1280x720.png</image>
		<image>splash-1024x600.png</image>
		<image>splash-1280x768.png</image> 
	</splashScreens>

 I've only tried it on the DevAlpha, but there it definitely picks the right one. However I just tried

	<splashScreens> 
		<image>splash-bb10.png</image>
		<image>splash-pb.png</image>
		<image>splash-dev.png</image> 
	</splashScreens>

 and it still works.

So I guess all we need is an image for every format we want to support.
