Android Question Delay between app start and LoadLayout

[Alessandro71]

my app has a starter service and a main activity.
The starter service perform some initialization, while Activity_Create of the main activity loads the layout.
Since the initialization can take up as much as 2 seconds, there is an empty white activity (with the app name on the title bar) clearly visible before the layout is loaded and painted.
Is there a way to avoid this?
A black background on the default white activity will suffice, but it seems not to be influenced by the activity background color set in the designer.

Why? What is your app doing at that point?

The same is true with me, but when I change the style to the following, this problem doesn't happen.
SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@android:style/Theme.Translucent")

I don't understand, the same question, why do you want to send a new post?

This is how the forum organized. You should always start a new thread when you post a question. You can refer to other threads if you like.

@cxdzbl says "same here" so at least I don't have a point to open a new thread for that right now.
