Disabling AutoHideSplashScreen for Android not working

Question

The following Phonegap project (Phonegap Build) is not working:

config.xml:

<preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="false" />
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000"/>
<gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.splashscreen" />

Index:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

window.location = 'http://www.example.com/login';

 document.AddEventListener("deviceready", OnDeviceReady, false);

    function OnDeviceReady() {
        setTimeout(function() { 
            navigator.splashscreen.hide();
        }, 6000);
    };

   </script>
  </head>

The splash screen stays all the time and loads. The redirecting to the homepage is not working.

I tried this: PhoneGap Build iOS app has blank white screen after splash screen

this: http://community.phonegap.com/nitobi/topics/splash_screen_autohidesplashscreen_false_not_working_iphone_ios7 (Version 0.2.3 of Plugin)

Nothing is working. Any idea?

The splashscreen plugin does not support AutoHideSplashScreen for Android. See also this issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8396.

As for the redirect not working, try window.location.href = 'http://www.example.com/login';

Fast forward to 2016: This was just recently implemented. You need cordova-plugin-splashscreen@3.2.0 (released Feb 2016)

See https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-splashscreen/pull/74

If you want disable the splashscreen, you should add onDeviceReady in the body of http://www.example.com/login
