Manage Splash screen activity and background tasks on android -


i have 2 activities. 1 splash , other main activity loads fragments pages. splash no background tasks, sit pretty , transition main activity following background tasks.

  1. set admob ads
  2. request data file server
  3. decript encryption key
  4. loads images disk display
  5. set google leader-board or sign in if user not sigh in.

my question how delegate of these tasks splash screen? , how pass these complex objects between activities (can use static variables)

at moment contemplating ditch splash activity , use main activity show splash image in that. main activity layout has banner adds not sure how cover entire screen image.

please help!

my main activity

 <relativelayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         android:orientation="vertical" >          <linearlayout             android:id="@+id/fragment"             android:layout_width="fill_parent"             android:layout_height="fill_parent"              android:gravity="center"              android:orientation="vertical"             android:layout_above="@+id/fragment_ad"/>           <fragment             android:id="@+id/fragment_ad"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:layout_alignparentbottom="true"             class="com.controllers.adfragment" />      </relativelayout>   public class splashactivity extends activity {      /** duration of wait **/     private final int splash_display_length = 2000;       string data = "";     /** called when activity first created. */     @override     public void oncreate(bundle icicle) {         super.oncreate(icicle);          this.requestwindowfeature(window.feature_no_title);         this.getwindow().setflags(windowmanager.layoutparams.flag_fullscreen,                 windowmanager.layoutparams.flag_fullscreen);          setcontentview(r.layout.splash);           data = getintent().getdatastring();         /* new handler start menu-activity           * , close splash-screen after seconds.*/         new handler().postdelayed(new runnable(){             @override             public void run() {                 /* create intent start menu-activity. */                  intent mainintent = new intent(splashactivity.this,mainactivity.class);                 if(data != "")                     mainintent.putextra(utils.challenge_data_code, data);                 splashactivity.this.startactivity(mainintent);                 splashactivity.this.finish();             }         }, splash_display_length);       }

i think should split workload this:

  1. data , work must have before user can use app should executed in splash screen , off-course should wait finish before continuing main activity. don't want let user wait if there's no reason. there few ways can transfer data main activity:

    a. use intent extras when possible. if there custom objects, can serialize them using gson example, , deserialize them in main activity.

    b. save data in application class/sharedpreferences

  2. you can start getting data need later in splash using thread, don't let user wait when there isn't reason.

recursion - Can every recursive algorithm be improved with dynamic programming? -

i first year undergraduate csc student looking competitive programming. recursion involves defining , solving sub problems. understand, top down dynamic programming (dp) involves memoizing solutions sub problems reduce time complexity of algorithm. can top down dp used improve efficiency of every recursive algorithm overlapping sub problems? dp fail work , how can identify this? the short answer is: yes. however, there constraints. obvious 1 recursive calls must overlap. i.e. during execution of algorithm, recursive function must called multiple times same parameters. lets truncate recursion tree memoization. can use memoization reduce number of calls. however, reduction of calls comes price. need store results somewhere. next obvious constraint need have enough memory. comes not-so obvious constraint. memory access requires time. first need find result stored , maybe copy location. in cases, might faster let recursion calculate result instead of loading somewher...

i playing around signals in c. main function asks input using fgets(name, 30, stdin) , , sits there , waits. set alarm alarm(3) , , reassigned sigalrm call function myalarm calls system("say pay attention") . after alarm goes off, fgets() stops waiting input , main fn continues on. happens if change myalarm set variable , nothing it. void myalarm(int sig) { //system("say pay attention"); int x = 0; } int catch_signal(int sig, void (*handler)(int)) { // when signal comes in, "catch" , "handle it" in way want struct sigaction action; // create new sigaction action.sa_handler = handler; // set it's sa_handler attribute function specified in header sigemptyset(&action.sa_mask); // "turn signals in sa_mask off?"
