Ok thank you miamon   where should we write this code and what should be the dimensions of the  background image like

256*256  or 480*120 etc ?

I want the background to fit to the screen  .

The image will scale to fit the screen. I would aim for something close to the resolution of the devices you are targeting, and even a little larger. Scaling down of images generally tends to look better than having to scale up.

The rim:loadingScreen element should be defined in your config.xml.
