The splash and map should definitely be part of the same project. Your splash screen will simply be the Activity that is marked as LAUNCHER/ DEFAULT/HOME [honestly I don't quite understand the difference between those three] in your AndroidManifest file and then within that Activity, your view will display the splash/loading screen and then look into using AsyncTask/threading-in-general to perform your GPS/ whatever requests outside of the UI thread and return results to the UI thread. AsyncTask makes it really easy to run a task in the background and do something upon completion. So upon completion you would launch the Map activity.
Hope this helps! I can certainly explain further/provide examples if you need it. -Nick On Mar 29, 7:50 pm, bob <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm new to Android development and I'm working on writing a GPS app. I > want to have a title/splash screen displayed when the app is first > opened, and then after a few seconds display the map.
