Do we have any sample of the classic splash screen code while some background task (Internet downloading and the listview data populating) is running under it ?
Cannot find on forum.
And better if without a SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW.
If what you need is simply a "superimposed" splash panel along with a command to show/hide it, then it should be easy to code it yourself.
Eventually, you could have a look at the source code for my AppUpdating lib, where a similar technique is adopted.
