Cordova Splash Screen not displaying image

I'm developing an app using Cordova, and I'm unable to get the plugin "cordova-plugin-splashscreen" to work on Android (and I've only tested on Android).

I've installed the plugin using the cordova cli tool:

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-splashscreen

And these are my config.xml-entries related to the plugin:

<platform name="android">
    ...
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="port-hdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="port-ldpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="port-mdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="port-xhdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="port-xxhdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="port-xxxhdpi" />

    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="land-hdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="land-ldpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="land-mdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="land-xhdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="land-xxhdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="land-xxxhdpi" />
</platform>
...
<preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="true" />
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000" />
<preference name="SplashShowOnlyFirstTime" value="false" />
<preference name="ShowSplashScreenSpinner" value="false" />

Instead of displaying the intented "res/screen/android/splash.png", the splash screen instead shows the default cordova icon or simply a gray empty screen.

Possibly related: I'm using the plugin "cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview" in the project aswell. - etoscnyl
Try use also <preference name="SplashScreen" value="screen"/> - M. Wiśnicki
Tried adding this line, it had no effect. - etoscnyl
Update: I tried removing Crosswalk to no avail. - etoscnyl

Currently recommended solution:

Update cordova-android to version 6.1.0, where this bug is no longer present:

$ cordova platform rm android
$ cordova platform add [email protected]

Workaround, for the record:

"Solved" with workaround by manually replacing assets in:

platforms/android/res/*

Problem appears to be caused by the following bug: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12077

Complementing etoscnyl's answer, when using Cordova 6.4.0 don't type:

cordova platform add android

Instead, type:

cordova platform add [email protected]

Try edit your xml like this, for me it working. I had installed this package 

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-splashscreen

And I use this xml, but different images only, this include yours

<preference name="SplashScreen" value="screen" />
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000" />
<preference name="SplashMaintainAspectRatio" value="true|false" />
<platform name="android">
        <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="port-hdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="port-ldpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="port-mdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="port-xhdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="port-xxhdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="port-xxxhdpi" />

    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="land-hdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="land-ldpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="land-mdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="land-xhdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="land-xxhdpi" />
    <splash src="res/screen/android/splash.png" density="land-xxxhdpi" />
</platform>

Try use also show() in deviceready event , maybe it will help.

navigator.splashscreen.show();
