There are several properties that can be set on DroidGap that deal with UI - loading dialog, splash screen and background color. They are used to give the user an indication that something is going on before the app is ready to be displayed.
I think they are needed, but should be moved out of the webview into DroidGap (or other activity that the user can extend). The webview can broadcast events that the activity can register for to management these things. I know that other platforms have splash screen, so would it work to abstract this?
