Android Configuration

The config.xml file controls an app's basic settings that apply across each application and CordovaWebView instance. This section details preferences that only apply to Android builds. See The config.xml File for information on global configuration options.

KeepRunning (boolean, defaults to true): Determines whether the application stays running in the background even after a pause event fires. Note: setting this to false will not kill the app after a pause event, it will only halt execution of code in the cordova webview while the app is in the background.
```
  <preference name="KeepRunning" value="false"/>
```
ErrorUrl: Specifies an error page that displays in response to standard HTTP errors in the 400-500 range. Place the specified file in the top-level directory containing the home page and other web assets.
```
  <preference name="ErrorUrl" value="error.html"/>
```
LoadingDialog: Display a native dialog when loading the app. The value's format is Title, Message
```
  <preference name="LoadingDialog" value="Please wait, the app is loading"/>
```
LoadingPageDialog: Display a native dialog when loading sub-pages within an app. The value's format is Title, Message
```
  <preference name="LoadingPageDialog" value="Please wait, the data is loading"/>
```
LoadUrlTimeoutValue (number, default is 20000): When loading a page, the amount of time to wait before throwing a timeout error. This example specifies 10 seconds rather than 20:
```
  <preference name="LoadUrlTimeoutValue" value="10000"/>
```
SplashScreen: The name of the file minus its extension in the res/drawable directory. Various assets must share this common name in various subdirectories.
