All,I have my main class GolfCaddie.java which is called when the app is launched. GolfCaddie.java extends the TabActivity. I have 3 other classes, one for each tab, and at the moment these 3 classes just display text or graphics.
In GolfCaddie.java the code is broken down as follows. Trying to simply it but can provide full code if needed:
onCreate
Set up Tabs
Call initApp
onCreateOptionsMenu
Setup options Menu
initApp
ProgressDialog dialog = ProgressDialog.show(GolfCaddie.this,
"","Initializing. Please wait...", true);
Set up some variables
Obtain deviceID
Checks app name, and determines if this is the trial version or the
full version
Makes a call to my server and returns a JSONObject which is then
decoded and certain items checked.
If the app is the trial version AND the trial date has passed throw
up an Alert with a message. Only option is to click OK which closes the App.
Otherwise, if the app is the trial version through up an alert
showing when the trial expires.
dialog.dismiss();
That's it for now. Very crude but working. My problem is that the
ProgressDialog never shows up, and all the code in initApp is done
against a black screen, even though the onCreate sets the tab default to
0, which has a graphical backdrop. Probably not doing this in the
correct way, but I was hoping for the ProgressDialog to display (againt
Tab(0) which has the background image) whilst it performs the code in
initApp. The call to my server is quick, but it's possible it can take
upwards of 10-20 seconds depending upon connectivity and so wanted to at
least show that something was happening. Having a black screen is not
great at all.
Would appreciate any help, and again, I can provide more detailed code if needed.
TIA. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David Williams Check out our WebOS mobile phone app for the Palm Pre and Pixi:<http://www.dtw-consulting.com/GolfCaddie> Golf Caddie <http://www.dtw-consulting.com/GolfCaddie> | Golf Caddie Forum <http://www.dtw-consulting.com/GolfCaddie/forum> | Golf Caddie FAQ <http://www.dtw-consulting.com/GolfCaddie/faq.html> by DTW-Consulting, Inc.
