Question

I have a bunch of code in a routine that looks a bit like this:

a.setContentView(R.layout.myLayout);
textview t1 = (TextView) a.findViewById(R.id.mylayout_t1);
t1.setText("Hello")
t1.setTypeface(font);
t1.setTextColor(colour);
t1.setTextSize(fontSize);

textview t2 = (TextView) a.findViewById(R.id.mylayout_t2);
t2.setText("Hello Again")
t2.setTypeface(font);
t2.setTextColor(colour);
t2.setTextSize(fontSize);

The problem I’m having is that before when the routine is called, the layout is done with all the fonts at the default font/size/colour and then they quickly change to the specified values, which is not very pleasant on the eye.

Is there some kind of command I can add to the beginning of the routine to suspend any layout, and then another command to resume at the end of the routine?

Answer 1

There are two ways:

1) Put your all code (you mentioned above) in onCreate() method and at last call t1.setVisible(true);

2) Put your code in the method in which you are creating your UI (like initUI() or something like that) and call this method before setting visibility to true.
