Hello, In my application there is a data structure that must be loaded from a file when the application starts. Until this structure is loaded, the application cannot be interacted with in any meaningful way. Loading this static structure typically takes 1-2 seconds on the G1. My concern is that different devices may have different load times, so I planned to use a ProgressBar to show the loading.
What is the best way to do pre-loading without annoying/confusing the user? 1) Create an Alert.Dialog to contain a progress bar that cannot be dismissed until the loading is complete? 2) Create full-screen "Loading" View and reject keystrokes? Then replace the view with the "Main" view when loading is complete? 3) Other ideas? (Certainly there are Lots Of Ways to force a loading screen - I'm trying to find a Good Way! =) Thank you for any suggestions.
