How to add a splash screen in Lua.

[rajumahato]

Hi All,

How can I add a fullscreen splash screen in my app. Currently I am doing this with the following code. But I am not sure about the way I do.

splashscreen = display.newImage( “images/default.png” );

local function removeSplash(event)
splashscreen:removeSelf()
splashscreen = nil
end
timer.performWithDelay(2000,removeSplash)

Using this code image is not cvering the whole screen. I appears only a portion of the screen only.

Is there any other way to display splash screen.
Please suggest… [import]uid: 154400 topic_id: 35185 reply_id: 335185[/import]

i would reccomend to take a look at the storyboard API and the Overlay function

You can see this post for splash screens:

For dealing with images that fill the whole screen you can have a look at this:

You can put the following images in the root folder.

Default.png
Default-Landscape.png
Default-LandscapeLeft.png
Default-LandscapeRight.png

Or…

Set you config.lua to “zoomStretch” and try
[lua]splashscreen = display.newImage( “images/default.png”, 0, 0, true );
splashscreen.x = display.contentCenterX
splashscreen.y = display.contentCenterY

local function removeSplash(event)
splashscreen:removeSelf()
splashscreen = nil
end

timer.performWithDelay(2000,removeSplash)[/lua]
This post (content-scaling-made-easy) is really helpful, search for The “magic recipe”. If you use this, you can set your config to “letterbox”

Hope some of this can help. [import]uid: 202223 topic_id: 35185 reply_id: 139938[/import]

splashscreen = display.newImage( “LoadScreen.png”,480,320 );

splashscreen.x, splashscreen.y = display.contentWidth / 2, display.contentHeight / 2

local function removeSplash(event)

splashscreen:removeSelf()

splashscreen = nil

end 

timer.performWithDelay(2000,removeSplash)

WORKS LIKE A CHARM! I only figured this out cause of you though! thanks!

oh it only works for iPhone 5 and 5s though.

Hey,

You can substitute:
[lua][color=rgb(40,40,40)][font=Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]splashscreen = display.newImage( “LoadScreen.png”,480,320 );[/lua][/font][/color]
for
[lua][color=rgb(40,40,40)][font=Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]splashscreen = display.newImage( “LoadScreen.png”,display.contentHeight,display.contentWidth);[/lua][/font][/color]

This should always fill the screen. However, this will also skew the image to fit within these proportions, which might be undesirable…

Bloody formatter…

What scale setting are you using?

[Max_Nelson]

splashscreen = display.newImage( “LoadScreen.png”,480,320 );

splashscreen.x, splashscreen.y = display.contentWidth / 2, display.contentHeight / 2

local function removeSplash(event)

splashscreen:removeSelf()

splashscreen = nil

end

Any chance of seeing an updated version of this for Composer?  I am looking at sample files for composer and so far none have a splash.lua.

You can just adjust the scale of the image to fit the whole screen.
