perform function when page loads in webOS

Question

I am currently trying to create a database in webOS for which I can later perform crud operations. So far, the users need to click on a button to create the database and another to create the table. Is there a way that these can be created when the application loads so that the user does not have to do it himself?

EDIT:

This is an Enyo application and I am using HTML5 for the database, so basically I want to be able to openDatabase and create a table when the application loads.

Can you be more specific about whether this is a Mojo application, an Enyo application or something else altogether? — Pre101, Apr 15 '12 at 03:03

My suggestion would be to override the create function of your app kind to check if database is initialized and then create it as necessary. Alternately, you could start with a splash screen and perform the necessary functions and when completed, load your main kind.

Here's an article on splash screens:

Or there's an splash screen kind someone created:
