Project Settings for Android

The config.xml settings file controls various settings of Cordova. This is application wide, and not set per CordovaWebView Instance.

<preference>

Various other preferences (as <preference> tags) default on not breaking existing apps. The available preferences are:

1. useBrowserHistory (boolean, defaults to true) - set to false if you want to use the history shim that was used to work around the hashtag error present in Android 3.x prior to the history fix. (Note: This setting will be deprecated in April 2013)
2. loadingDialog - Display a native loading dialog when loading the app. Format for the value is "Title, Message"
3. loadingPageDialog - Display a native loading dialog when loading sub-pages. Format for the value is "Title, Message"
4. errorUrl - Set the error page for your application. Should be located in your Android project in file://android_asset/www/
5. backgroundColor - Set the background color for your application. Supports a four-byte hex value, with the first byte representing alpha value, and the following three bytes with standard RGB values. (i.e. 0x00000000 = Black)
6. loadUrlTimeoutValue - How much time Cordova should wait before throwing a timeout error on the application.
7. keepRunning (boolean, defaults to true) - Determines whether Cordova will keep running in the background or not
8. splashscreen - The name of the file minus its extension in the res/drawable directory. If you have multiple assets, they all must share this common name in their respective directories.
