Hi there,
when the user starts my application, then there is a lot of configuration stuff etc to do.
so i decided to display a splashScreen, so that the user can see, the application is running.

before i start with more and more bla bla i show you what i have done so far, and what my problem is:

PHP Code:

public class OrdnerApp extends UiApplication implements KeyListener,TrackwheelListener, FolderListener, ListFieldCallback { 
public frmSplashScreen SplashScreen;
private MainScreen _screen;
 
    public static void main(Stringxxx91;xxx93; args) {
       OrdnerApp app =  new OrdnerApp();
        app.enterEventDispatcher();
    }
    
       
    private OrdnerApp() { 
    SplashScreen = new frmSplashScreen(_screen);
     _screen = new MainScreen();
   ....
  _screen.addKeyListener(this);
        _screen.addTrackwheelListener(this);
        
        pushScreen(_screen); 
        pushScreen(SplashScreen);
               
        checkConfigEmail();
....
UiApplication.getUiApplication().popScreen(UiApplication.getUiApplication().getActiveScreen());   
}
...
} 


So my problem is the following:
i start my application and i see the BB "desktop" after some seconds i see my application, but the mainform and not my splashscreen.

i think, the problem is, the screen is pushed and popped so fast that i can't see it, and the functions between pushing and popping are executet first and then the screenhandling starts.

i there a chance to push the screen first, then doing the other stuff and when it's done to pop the splashscreen? (hope you got an idea of this what i mean ;))

thanks so far.

put your checkConfigEmail code in a separate thread and start it at the current code line, so it would not block your constructor and th eapplication will enter the event dispatcher mode.

hello,
i have tried to put it in a seperate thread, but the problem is still the same.
here are some lines:

PHP Code:

   public static void main(Stringxxx91;xxx93; args) {
       OrdnerApp app =  new OrdnerApp();
        app.enterEventDispatcher();
    }
    private class OptionThread extends Thread {
        public void run() {
        checkConfigEmail();
        
        try {
            loadOptions();
           TimerTask worker = new TimerTask();
            worker.start(); 
            UiApplication.getUiApplication().popScreen(UiApplication.getUiApplication().getActiveScreen());   
        pushScreen(_screen); 
        }
    }
       
    private OrdnerApp() { 
    SplashScreen = new frmSplashScreen();
    pushScreen(SplashScreen);
    UiApplication.getUiApplication().updateDisplay();
    OptionThread _OptionThread = new OptionThread();
   _OptionThread.start();
