Android Question Activity with no window

[MrKim]

I set a notification which requires SetInfo which requires an activity and all is well.

When the user selects my notification the activity code is run, it works fine.

The problem is the entire screen briefly flashes black when the code is run because it is an activity. Is there some way to prevent that?
I have

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: False
#End Region

set.

I do have code that needs to run, and possibly a Toastmessage, but I don't want a full screen.

Thanks for any help

maybe look at making the activity transparent

Tried that - still flashes a black screen.

I also tried #FullScreen: True
thinking it was the title that did it but no luck there either.

How are you making the activity transparent?

I just created a layout in designer and set the alpha to 0 on the actvity. Then loadlayout in
Activity_Create.

Setting the activity attributes in the manifest xml instead of in code might be flicker free.
I think the xml is parsed before any code in your activity is executed.

You have the syntax for that? I have no clue.

See the link I posted above.

Erel, sorry, I missed that link. The manifest entry:

SetActivityAttribute(main, android:theme, @android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar)

was all that was necessary. Just changed 'main' to the name of my Activity.

No need for a layout. Put my toastmessage in Activity_Resume

Thanks once again for your help!
