Android Question LAYOUT PRESENTATION

[Giusy]

hi, I want to create the first page of my program (title and nice image)
I have create a layout
Activity.LoadLayout("presentation")

and then a sleep routine (3 seconds)

Sub WaitFor(Milliseconds As Int)
Dim Present As Long
Present = DateTime.Now
Do While DateTime.Now < Present + Milliseconds

Loop
End Sub

But the program wait 3 seconds and after the page appear and disappear

how can I do?
Thanks

Search for "splashscreen" or "splash screen". There are a few alternatives or you could code one yourself.

Search the forum for 'splash screen', there are a few examples including one from RandonCoder and also one from Erel, there are others too...

You can also use a timer as follow:

Sub Process_Globals

    Private T1 As Timer
    
End Sub


Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    T1.Initialize("T1",3000)
    T1.Enabled = True
    

End Sub

Sub T1_tick
    
    StartActivity("News")
        
End Sub

Why use a timer (which is initialized incorrectly and never disabled)?

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    Sleep(3000)
    StartActivity(News)
End Sub
