splash-screen

I'm wanting to spoof the feel of the main splash screen fading out whenever applicationDidBecomeActive is called, but it's not working. What am I doing wrong? - (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application { if(IS_IPHONE_5) splash = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Default-568h.png"]]; else splash = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Default.png"]]; [self.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:splash]; [UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{ splash.alpha = 0; } completion:^(BOOL finished) { [splash removeFromSuperview]; }]

I'd like to display splash screen while the application is loading. However some 3rd party components block main thread during initilization for several seconds, which causes all forms not to update. Is it possible to have splash screen with own thread so it would update also when main thread is busy? The application is win32 and Delphi version 2007. Edit: I'm trying to avoid "undrawn splash screen" effect, which happens if some other windows (from other applications) are on the top of splash screen, eg alt-tabbing to another application and back. You can run the splash screen in another

On iOS 7, launch images fade out instead of disappearing immediately when the app is loaded. Is there any setting to prevent this launch image fade out animation? I need it to disappear immediately just like in the iOS 6 and earlier. Edit for answers: Yes, it is possible to add the splash image as a UIImageView to the top window and hide it after splash fade animation is completed. But this causes a delay of 0.4 seconds which I'm trying to avoid. Alex R. R. I have managed to do that in the AppController. Just place this code right after the creation of the glView UIImage* image = [UIImage

I want my app to have an activity that shows instruction on how to use the app. However, this "instruction" screen shall only be showed once after an install, how do you do this? Emmanuel Sys You can test wether a special flag (let's call it firstRun ) is set in your application SharedPreferences . If not, it's the first run, so show your activity/popup/whatever with the instructions and then set the firstRun in the preference. protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences("prefs", 0); boolean firstRun

I'm updating my PhoneGap iOS-app to make it compatible with the iPhone 5. I'm manually hiding the splash screen after my app has initialized. When simulating iPhone 5: When the app starts it displays the correct splash screen (Default-568h@2x.png) (hereon "the 5") but quickly hides it and instead displays the iPhone 4 splash screen (hereon "the 4"). The 4 doesn't cover the whole app, thus showing top and bottom bars of the app initializing. I'm not entirely sure how it works but I can think of two possible scenarios: 1) Both images are displayed simultaneously but for some reason the 5 auto

I am doing the Android Programming Tutorial on Splash Screens where you show a picture or text for 5 Seconds than it goes to the Main Application. My Question is..Instead of Text or Pictures I want to display a Video File for 5 Seconds before it goes to the Next page of the Application. I am not talking about when the Application Loads I am talking about when it is Loaded and you program it to display something on a Separate Java & XML page to display something then move to something else..here is my current code. @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle SplashScreen1) { // TODO Auto-generated

OK, there are very few options to emulate the splash video in iOS. All we can do is wait till application is fully loaded and then create Media Player and load video in it. I implemented it with following code: -(void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification { NSLog(@"Intro video stopped"); [mMoviePlayer release]; } - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application { NSURL* mMovieURL; NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle]; if(bundle != nil) { NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:@"intro" ofType:@"mp4"]; if (moviePath) { mMovieURL = [NSURL
