It may or may not, but the point is that there is nothing to download, and you may not even see it or a loader layout.

So to be clear, a splash screen is not a preloader.

A splash screen is not a loader layout.

This is a feature request, and not a disadvantage discussion.

newt the purpose of (the disadvantage discussion) is to come up with solutions that can solve those disadvantages and make construct 3 more better and user friendly for non programmer
i already add this in feature request but Ashley still believe this is already exist but in realty is not

and as you said preloader and custom loader layout is not a Splash screen

the preloder is more web export oriented

Splash screen is more Mobile export oriented

even the icon & splash documentation is Too vague and not explaining step by step how to do it

in the end if any one know how remove the preloder and replace it with splash screen for mobile export

we will be happy to learn from you because until now i can't find any single tutorial in forum solve this issue

Thanks

The icons are in the Project bar under Icons where you can load new ones.

You view their purpose in the Properties bar.

The Properties bar also has the settings to change the loading type under the view button.

If those don't work as the manual suggests, make a bug report.

newt Done
github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/4052
(i was thinking that the Storyboard splash require extra coding in android studio to show up if really what only need is just simple click on image parameter and choose Storyboard splash option that will be more than awesome )

Hi lahbach, sorry for not replying sooner. I made a comprehensive test with the Splashscreen feature with all related project property combination a few days ago to make sure the Storyboard feature is working.

And yes, it doesn't work. The Splashboard image is ignored.

Adaptive icons, using foreground and background don't work properly either. The only working one is using the App Icon purpose, then Construct 3 will make it into a one-layered adaptive icon. However, it's not really the real deal.

If possible, you might want to consider using Android Studio or Cordova instead. You can ensure it's all working from there. There should be tutorials and documentation in the internet.

Good luck.

Hi everyone.

The Splashscreen feature (Storyboard), now works well now in Construct 3, on the latest update.

The Adaptive Icons (Foreground + Background) was working all this time, at first it looked broken to me since it somewhat didn't scale like Android Studio.

To make it scale in Construct 3, you need to match the size of both Foreground and Background. And, most especially, include the transparent areas to avoid it stretching.

It doesn't have Android Studio icon tools, but I think this is already enough for most apps, and adds simplicity.

Hi Ashley, regarding the Splashscreen (Storyboard), how come both the status bar and context menu are not hidden even when in Cover Mode (Viewport-fit)?

It only hides after showing the Storyboard, it looks like this is only a case with Construct 3. Should I file a bug report or a feature request?

Thank you.

Thank you.
