Question

I am trying to load some data from webservices while a splash screen is being displayed.

I am trying to use the code below for that, but I still can’t reach a suitable solution.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    [self backgroundtask];
    self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]]         autorelease];
    splashView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
    splashView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Default.png"];
    [self.window addSubview:splashView];
    [self.window bringSubviewToFront:splashView];

    ViewController *masterViewController = [[[ViewController alloc]         initWithNibName:@"ViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
    self.navigationController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:masterViewController] autorelease];
    self.window.rootViewController = self.navigationController;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
}

If you want to display a splash screen just put an image file named “default.png” into the resources. The app will automatically display that at startup before any views load. And have in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions have the remainder of your code

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
 [self backgroundtask];
 self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]]         autorelease];


 ViewController *masterViewController = [[[ViewController alloc]         initWithNibName:@"ViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
 self.navigationController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:masterViewController] autorelease];
 self.window.rootViewController = self.navigationController;
 [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
