Android Question Loading Activity in Background

[epiCode]

Is it possible to
1. Load a simple splash activity A (which displays basic app info)
2. Utilize the time to load activity B in background (with elements which take a longer time to get ready like populating CLV, Spinners etc from SQL)

Any other workarounds are also welcome

If you use B4xPages, then yes you can load up all of the other pages and initialise them whilst displaying a splash page.

you will need to call AddpageandCreate rather then just AddPage.

Not possible without b4xpages ?

Not really if the other Page is an Android Activity (take a look at the Activity lifecycle).

You can load the data in the background into classes (put the loading code in a service). But that will not allow you to populate visual elements. But it may be ok with lazy loading.
OR
you can use panels in one activity, but then B4xPages is a much better way of handling this.
