PhoneGap SplashScreen - splash cannot be resolved or is not a field

Question

i want to make a splash screen on my android application, i use phonegap.

here is my main.java code :

public class App extends DroidGap {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    super.setIntegerProperty("splashscreen", R.drawable.splash);
    super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html",5000);
}

}

but i got an error : "splash cannot be resolved or is not a field"

i've put the splash.png on every drawable directories, but the error still there..

anybody could help me? thanks in advance..

I assumed your using Eclipse, like me :) If you are choose menu Project - Clean. If you have the Build Automatically option set it will compile for you when cleaning, otherwise you can compile again after clean. — Orn Kristjansson, Jun 21 '12 at 04:12

I think there is an issue about the timeout parameter in your case 5000 and it was fixed in phonegap 1.6.0 release that's why you don't get it work:

try to use the last phone gap release (1.8.1) and you will get it work

if you don't get it work let me know and if phonegap 1.8.1 works for you don't forget to mark the answer as accepted – K_Anas Jun 21 '12 at 04:51
I am having the same issue in Phonegap 2.5. My error said *"R cannot be resolved to a variable"* - I made sure my image exists in the "drawable" directory: `res/drawable/splash.png` – Ryan Wheale Apr 16 '13 at 18:36

just change the word splash by screen:

super.setIntegerProperty("splashscreen", R.drawable.screen);

I was having a similar problem. I renamed the package which extended the core DroidGap class. My solution was fixed by this solution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CHRujojc2o. In short, make sure to update your references in the AndroidManifest.xml file to point to the new package name.
