@mcocaroUX, by image, do you mean a png file?

[mcocaroUX]

@pictos yes, a png would be ok

[pictos]

@mcocaroUX I'll double check during the week, but I believe you can use a png file... The bad part is that png and jpeg aren't resizable by default, so it can be pixelated when resizing. Any reasons to not use a svg file?

[mcocaroUX]

What we want to do is a splash with a picture as background and the logo of the app centered (No issues showing the logo) but I don't see any option to set up the background other than the color

Ooh, I see now! Do you mind creating a small sample, in the way you do it today? I would like to use it as reference to do some research around that

This isn't supported on Android (post Android 12 I think) or Windows that just put image in centre of screen with solid background color. As @pictos suggested, if you have a sample app you can share, we can take a look at how to support that with resizetizer

[mcocaroUX]

@pictos @nickrandolph I'm not sure what should I include on a sample app for this, given that Im not getting any error. I can create a new project with the image I want to add, does that would help?

[pictos]

@mcocaroUX yes, that does help... The idea of the sample is just show us how you do it today, and how we can automate it (if possible)

[mcocaroUX]

Ok, I created the sample. Just to clarify, this is what we archived:

And this is what we want to archive:

Sample: SplashSample.zip

As Adnroid 12 doesnt support it, we're nt planning to support/fix this at this point in time.
