Hello all:
I was wondering if there is a way to have a splash image display while
my app is loading? As it is right now, it's just a black screen until
the main activity launches and it may confuse people into thinking
that the app is stuck or not launching properly.
Thanks,
DM

Ok...so I would need to use some kind of listener for the between time of
the app loading and starting? I mean I see this all the time on other apps
so I was just wondering how they do this?
Usually you click the launcher icon and then an image is displayed for a
short time and then the app
There's several approaches for doing this. Just Google android splash
screen. I think one of the first few links contains info that I used to
create my own.

The distinction, if any, between loading and starting, is
Yes this may be the way to go for me. My main activity has to setup and
prepare a couple of MediaPlayer objects to play some streaming audio...this
may take a while on a slow connection and I've seen some examples that use
the onPostExecute method of an AsyncTask to tell the activity when to stop
I was going to suggest something similar to what Kostya suggested. As he
said, if you're taking time to load things in an onCreate, first you want to
move it to a thread (AsyncTask). What I do is I've found one of the examples
out there that sets my launcher to the SplashScreenActivity. In my
Yes this makes sense...I have a question regarding how my app is set up
though...I'm using a tabbed interface where each tab launches a new
activity. So basically the activity that would launch first sets up the tabs
and then starts the activity that is in the first tab...So would I put my
splash

This seems like an
First, are you using debug mode with your physical device plugged in to the
USB slot and deploying that way? It will allow you to watch the LogCat
output, you can put Log.i() info throughout your code to try to trace it or
use the debugger and break points, whichever your fancy. You may see why
yes someone else suggested an endless loop as well...but I haven't written
any loops in my code at all. I am definitely planning on taking TreKing's
advice about that...as soon as I can get with my tester we'll work it
out...In the mean time I am going back to the code to see if I can make it

Yes you can use one activity and just switch views for tabs...but it was
suggested on the Android Developer site to use separate activities for each
tab if each tab is doing a completely different task...Which mine
is...Basically my app has 5 tabs...The first allows a user to listen to our

Yes and nothe main application that is the first to launch only displays
buttons to listen to one of our streams...the second tab starts the
Podcast activity where the user can click a button that displays one of 5
