libgdx: how to hide startup screen

Question

I am working on libgdx program with 2 screens named "Show Info.". A 'startup' screen always popup first. How could I hide it?

Thank you very much!

Answer 1

You are using Screen and Game classes?

@Override
public void create() {
    mainMenuScreen = new MainMenuScreen(this);
    anotherScreen = new AnotherScreen(this);
    setScreen(mainMenuScreen);              
}

Make sure you call the setScreen method.

I'm a little unclear on what you are asking, could you elaborate a little more? What is this 'startup' screen you are receiving?

Answer 2

Use Service instead of Activity .. The Service can be working in the background without a UI.

Example to use the service

public class MyService extends Service {

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
//TODO do something useful
return Service.START_NOT_STICKY;
}

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
//TODO for communication return IBinder implementation
return null;
}
}
