My loading layouts is around 5 seconds. Instead of user seeing a blank screen, I decided to add this prior to loading layouts.

ToastMessageShow("Loading, Please Wait...", True) DoEvents: DoEvents: DoEvents Activity.LoadLayout("any")

I am not sure if this is solid enough to show the message. 1 Doevents does not show on the device or emulator. 2 does.

For those of you have long loading times, can you give me an idea what are you guys doing on the screen while the user is waiting.

I am thinking of abandoning the .bal and do everything with the codes. Painful!!

Have you measured 5 seconds on a real device? The emulator is very slow. You can also separate your layout into several layout files and then only load the layout when it is needed.

  • Actually, Real Device is around 3 seconds and emulator is about 5 seconds. I like your idea on separating the layouts. Thanks again Erel. – Scantech Oct 26 '11 at 15:30
