Hello

I need to create the following flow for my application:

1. Application is launched
2. Application shows a view for gathering data
3. View for gathering data disappears. This view is graphical in
nature and only takes up the central part of the screen, and it is
also transparent, so the previous contents of the screen are visible
behind it and around it.
4. Some intensive computation takes place, that should take 0.1 - 1
seconds on a regular ARM 11 CPU.
5. Depending on the result of the computation one of two other views
is shown.

My issue:
I don't want the view described at 3 to have any other graphical
component of my application behind it. So i see two solutions:

a. I implement a activity that shows the view at 3 as the first
activity that appears when the application is launched. Problem: it
will stay "frozen" for up to one second while the computation takes
place. I don't want that because it makes the application feel
unresponsive. Can i make the view invisible once it is done gathering
data?
b. I implement an invisible activity that launches another activity
that implements the view at 3, and this second activity returns data
to the first, that performs the computation and then launches other
activities based on the result.

In both cases i need to make a view invisible. I have tried various
methods of doing that and none worked.
Can anyone help?
