Worklight Application White screen appears after splash screen

I am getting a White Screen after splash screen and then web page appears. I have configured the splash screen using cordova. Every time when app starts white screen appears for a while.

<feature name="SplashScreen">
    <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.splashscreen.SplashScreen" />
</feature>

preference like -

   <preference name="splashscreen" value="splash"/>
   <preference name="splashScreenDelay" value="10000"/>

Using above splash screen is not hiding after delay.

So I tried below way also

<preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="false" />
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000"/>

navigator.splashscreen.hide(); //call within device ready

Which hides the splash screen but getting white screen, not getting success. How can I resolve this issue.

Changing the Cordova values will not help, as they are not used.

You are probably using either a slow device, or have creatung a very large app (in which case you should question what you are doing on application startup time that takes so much time).

If you are using Worklight 6.2 and above, you can control when will the splash screen be removed, and the app displayed.

Review the Splash Screen scection in the Common UI Controls tutorial: https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/documentation/getting-started-7-0/advanced-client-side-development/common-ui-controls/#splashscreen

To extend the duration of the default splash screen:

  1. Uncomment the autoHideSplash option in the initOptions.js file.
  2. When you're ready to hide the splash screen, use WL.App.hideSplashScreen();
