Is there an Android equivalent to the "Launch Image" like for iOS. The image that appears as the app is initializing. On Android, I just get a black screen while it loads.

As Colin said there is a workaround using Flex. Here's one using Flash and Actionscript, that might work (I haven't tried it out myself): Antonio Holguin » Pure AS3 Splash Screen for Mobile Applications

Hi, It's 2017 and I've seen splash screens for Android apps. Is there a way to make one?

No, there isn't. In the Flex world people use a workaround where they have an image shown as soon as possible, before the swf loads I guess. Overall, I wouldn't worry about it, Android users aren't used to instant splash screens like on iOS.

Hi, are there any plans to include a mechanism for showing a splash screen on Android apps (like Default.png on iOS)? Perhaps in the app config xml file somewhere? I just find it strange after all this time there are no good options for AS3 developers on this.

I believe that no Android app has a splash image, Android OS just doesn't do that. You just have to find a way to show the first frame of the app as soon as you can.
