I have an application built in Html5 and wrapped in PhoneGap for Android

Before app shows in SmartPhone has a black screen

instead of the black screen I want to put an icon.

how can I do it?

If there is a way to do it in JS and not in PhoneGap-it is better.

You’re talking about splash screens. Phonegap has splash screen support and it’s easy to implement.

first of all, you add splashscreen plugin:

<plugin name="SplashScreen" value="org.apache.cordova.SplashScreen"/>

Then in onCreate method of your main java file(the one that extends DroidGap), you add this line:

super.setIntegerProperty("splashscreen", R.drawable.splash);

Then in javascript deviceready event, you can hide it:

navigator.splashscreen.hide();
