I’m developing an application and testing it on my Samsung Tab A (9.7).

The splash screen looked pixelated so I played around with the image files until I determined that it is rendering the MDPI (480x320) image on a device with a resolution of 1024x768.

It looks horrible.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, is there a solution?

I’ve reinstalled the splash screen native component. I’m able to overwrite the MDPI with a larger file and that solves the problem for my specific device, but it’s not a good solution.

Am I missing something in the config? Any thoughts?

Thanks.  
Matt

Do you have the other densities properly defined in your config.xml?

Thanks –

Just the densities set by default when generating an ionic2 project.

For example:  
`<splash density="land-ldpi" src="resources/android/splash/drawable-land-ldpi-screen.png" />`

Is there a pixel density I should be using for my source icon and splash files?

+1, I have the same problem.

For he time being, there is a workaround to manually address this issue.
