Configuring Launch Images

To configure your project to use the Launch Images:

Inside your project from the Main menu, select Edit > Project Settings.
In the Project Settings, on the left under Platforms select Android to display the project settings for Android apps.
Scroll down to the Launch Images section and make sure the Show launch image check box is enabled.
Click the ... icon next to each image to open a browser where you can select your image from your computer.
Once you have selected the images you want to use they will be added to the project and included during the startup splash screen.

Examples for portrait and landscape images may be found in the Engine/Build/Android/Java/res/drawable folder as PNG files.
