Guidelines for Splash Screen
When the system launches an app, it temporarily displays a static launch image on the screen. Your app should provide this image, with the image contents usually containing a pre-rendered version of your app’s default user interface.
- The purpose of splash screen is to give the user immediate indication that the app is being launched. It also gives your application, time to initialize itself and prepare its initial set of views for display. When your app is ready to run, the system removes the image and displays your application’s home screen.
- Splash screen should occupy the complete device screen. No Black or white Borders should be present at the top/bottom/sides of the splash screen.
- No Header Box should be present at the Splash Screen unless specified otherwise.
- Should be docked (Splash Screen should not move when application is in loading state).
- Should be consistent with the requirements in terms of Application Name Logo, Version Number and a Trade Mark Symbol.
- A video can be configured as a splash screen, which will be played while the application is getting initialized.

Guidelines for Configuring Splash Screen for Android Applications
- Use a background color around the image so the image appears stretched. (for example, if the image is white near the edges, use a white background). It looks better if there is not an obvious border around the image and it fades into a background.
- Always include portrait and landscape versions of the images.
