iphone - App Loading and Splash Screen

Question

My app downloads quite a lot of data, which takes about a few seconds. My splash screen displays and then disappears and then a white blank screen appears for a few seconds before the first view is loaded. Is there a way to keep the splash screen appearing? Is it okay to create a view in the AppDelegate and keep it displayed until all the data loading has been completed and the view is about to load?

Answer 1

Use MBProgressHUD You can get the whole source code here.

Hope this helps.

This is a Loading View which is Activity Indicator.

EDIT:

You can add your background view into window while your data is being downloaded in background using

[window addSubview:<backgroundView>.view];

Then once data is downloaded, you can remove the same from window and add your main view controller into window

[<backgroundView>.view removeFromSuperView];
[window addSubview:<mainView>.view];

Hope this helps you.
