Shame there isn't an option to add a splash screen to Android app like
in Delphi as my app would really benefit from one.
Manually create a splash screen?

Hi c4p!

Yes,  you can add a splash screen!

Look for "AppDemo1" and the

new "AppDBGridViewDemo1" [by Martin Lowry]  in LAMW 0.8  preview!

LAMW 0.8 preview is here:  https://od.lk/f/Ml8xNTU4Mjc1NDVf  [Please, 
test it!!!]
demos preview is here:       https://od.lk/f/Ml8xNTU3ODQyMDlf

Ok. There is some trick...

1) You need set your "splash" form property "ActivityMode= actSplash"
2) You need edit "*.lpi" ... add a  new  line in "CustomData"  like:
    <CustomData Count="????">
      <Item? Name="StartModule" Value="MyAndroidModuleSplash"/>
    </CustomData>

3) Maybe, you need edit ".lpr" ,  too!

here:
Code: [Select]procedure pAppOnCreate(PEnv: PJNIEnv; this: JObject;
context: JObject;
  layout: JObject; intent: JObject); cdecl;
begin
  Java_Event_pAppOnCreate(PEnv, this, context, layout, intent);
    MyAndroidModuleSplash.Init(gApp);
end;

and here:
Code: [Select]....
.....
gApp.CreateForm(TMyAndroidModuleSplash, MyAndroidModuleSplash);

Yes,  and LAMW 0.8 has improved support to make splash!

Only change  here:
Quote    <CustomData Count="????">
      <Item? Name="StartModule" Value="MyAndroidModuleSplash"/>
    </CustomData>

OR

Change/rename the splash form property name.... [after change main
form property name]
