Does this preserve your GL context? I thought GL context goes away when its parent activity does.

Not in another thread, that won't work as your UI code must run in the main thread. But just set your main activity to a loader that loads your stuff and displays a splash screen, then when everything is loaded fire off an intent to start your "real" main activity. What are you loading?

    Thanks Rich,

    What do you mean by do the loading in the background. Do I have to
    call startActivity() in a separate thread?
    When you say send a message back to the activity do you mean I
    should call startActivityForResult()?

    Thanks,

        You could also create a "loading"/"setting things
        up"/"building your data spinner" dialog.
