Apps Menu problems/ Splash

[sigurros]

Clicking splash screen while its loading to menu causes the buttons on menu to be unresponsive. If let go, works just fine.

Also the last button (all four buttons lead to webpages) cannot use the "back button" or else it cause the app to close, all other return you to menu.

More info about problem is posted here.

Your returning true in your onTouchEvent method, and you don't call the super. This is saying you have dealt with any event from the splashscreen, you may want to change this.

I'd also recommend you a better splashscreen implementation:

public class Splash extends Activity {

        // time in milliseconds
        private static final long SPLASH_TIME_NO_USER_INTERACTION = 2000;
        private static final int STOPSPLASH = 0;

        private static ImageView splash;
        
        /** Called when the activity is first created. */
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                setContentView(R.layout.splash);
                
                splash = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.splashscreen);   
                
                final Message msg = new Message();
                msg.what = STOPSPLASH;
                splashHandler.sendMessageDelayed(msg, SPLASH_TIME_NO_USER_INTERACTION);
        }

        private Handler splashHandler = new Handler() {
                public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
                        switch (msg.what) {
                                case STOPSPLASH:
                                        goPastSplash();
                                break;
                        }
                }
        };

        private void goPastSplash() {
                splash.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                this.finish();
                Intent mainMenu = new Intent(getBaseContext(), MainMenu.class);
                startActivity(mainMenu);                
        }

}
