rim: loadingScreen backgroundColor  and foregroundImage have disappeared on launch.?

no code changes

[astanley]

Are you saying these features stopped working in your application?  Those elements are still supported:

https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/documentation/rim_loadingscreen_element_834680_11.html

Can you provide a copy of your config.xml?

Did you change the version of the WebWorks SDK you are using - or change platform (e.g. installed the PlayBook SDK and re-built your app) ?

[usr501]

no change to sdk or code' and a non descript config.xml

<widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
        xmlns:rim="http://www.blackberry.com/ns/widgets"
 version="1.0.0.0" id="ras" xml:lang="en" rim:header="Joe Tile 1.0">

  <rim:loadingScreen backgroundColor="#000000"
             foregroundImage="resources/background.png"
       onFirstLaunch="true" onRemotePageLoad="true" >
  </rim:loadingScreen>

the app is loaded on 9900  and works fine other than no splash screen which started yesterday.

corrupt code? I've seen that in my day. code that becomes stupid and has to be replaced manually.

[astanley]

Is that your full config.xml ?  I don't see a <content> element or a closing </widget> element.

Is your start page a remote URL? Curious if the content is being cached and is loading fast.

[usr501]

I posted the part of the config.xml in question.

the config.xml is complete from head to toe. The app resides locally. No URL start page all local. So should I test with that statement removed?

[NitishSubudhi]

I have also the same problem..
please post the code if any one know asap...

 Please Help me to solve the Problem.

[astanley]

The latest version of the WebWorks SDK for Smartphone is 2.3.1.5. This release does still support he loadingScreen feature.

If you are not seeing the loading screen image, as defined in your config.xml file, I suspect there is a path issue.

For the example that NitishSubudhi provided :

<rim:loadingScreen foregroundImage="images/splash.png" backgroundColor="#000000" onFirstLaunch="true" onLocalPageLoad="false" onRemotePageLoad="false">
		<rim:transitionEffect type="zoomIn" direction="left" />
	</rim:loadingScreen>

I would expect the folder structure of this project to look like this:

• appFolder
• config.xml
• index.html
• images
• splash.png

If that is not the case (or the splash.png image is not a valid PNG file), then the loading screen may fail to be displayed.
