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.

command line - How can a Python program background itself? -

consider following python command-line program. doesn't work because incomplete, think illustrates problem: #!/usr/bin/python3 import multiprocessing pool = multiprocessing.pool() task in expensive_iterator_with_user_interaction(): pool.call_async(expensive_computation, (task,)) pool.close() print("dear user, may press ctrl-z , bg script.") pool.join() thus, problem scripts needs user input while it's launching expensive parallel processes. there moment when user interaction not needed anymore. then, ask user background process shell actions. however, can achieved program itself? (side note: core of problem entanglement of user input firing “expensive computations”. therefore, cannot separate both in 2 scripts, , letting 1 spawning other daemon.) the command screen may you. use screen -l create new session , run application. after inputting data, can press " ctrl-a " , press " d " on keyboard detach session. now...
