Hi,

I am trying to make a splash appear while my application make an http request. The application is not entering the invokeLater portion of the code. Here is my code:

        final SplashScreen thisScreen = new SplashScreen();
        Thread threadToRun = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                // First, display this screen
               UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                   public void run() {
                        UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen(thisScreen);
                        System.out.println("-------the screen was just pushed");
                  }
                });
                // Now run the code that must be executed in the Background
                try {
                    runThis.run();
                    System.out.println("------the thread is running");
                } catch (Throwable t) {
                    t.printStackTrace();
                    throw new RuntimeException("Exception detected while waiting: " + t.toString());
                }
                // Now dismiss this screen
                UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        UiApplication.getUiApplication().popScreen(thisScreen);
                        System.out.println("-----the screen was just popped");
                    }
                });
            }
        };
        threadToRun.start();

in other words, the only thing running is runThis.run()

Hi,

i have written some code to display SPlash Screen. Hope this helps for you.

public SplashScreen(UiApplication ui,MainScreen next)
	{
		super(ScrollView.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL);		
		this.application = ui;
		this.next = next;
		addManager();//layout of the screen
		SplashScreenListener listener = new SplashScreenListener(this);	
		this.addKeyListener(listener);
		timer.schedule(new CountDown(), 3000);
		application.pushScreen(this);
	}
	

	public void dismiss()
	{
		timer.cancel();
		application.popScreen(this);
		application.pushScreen(next);		
	}
	
   private class CountDown extends TimerTask
   {
	  public void run() 
	  {
		DismissThread dThread = new DismissThread();
		application.invokeLater(dThread);		
	  }	   
   }
   
   private class DismissThread implements Runnable
   {
	 public void run() 
	 {
		dismiss();		
	 }	   
   }
   protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time) {
	      dismiss();
	      return true;
	   }
	   protected boolean navigationUnclick(int status, int time) {
	      return false;
	   }
	   protected boolean navigationMovement(int dx, int dy, int status, int time) {
	      return false;
	   }
   
   private class SplashScreenListener implements KeyListener
   {
    private SplashScreen screen;
    public SplashScreenListener(SplashScreen splash)
    {
    	screen = splash;
    }
	public boolean keyChar(char key, int status, int time) 
	{
		boolean retval = false;
		switch(key)
		{
		  case Characters.CONTROL_MENU:
		  case Characters.ESCAPE:
			  screen.dismiss();
			  retval = true;
			  break;		
		}
		return retval;
	}

	public boolean keyDown(int keycode, int time) {
		return false;
	}

	public boolean keyRepeat(int keycode, int time) {
		return false;
	}

	public boolean keyStatus(int keycode, int time) {
		return false;
	}

	public boolean keyUp(int keycode, int time) {
		return false;
	}	   
   }

I am trying to make an http request while the splashscreen is getting displayed, not just displaying a splash screen...it doesn't seem that this code will do the trick...any other suggestions?

[hardikhamar]

[hardikhamar]

try this code:

class SplashScreen extends MainScreen{
    LabelField lb ;
    public SplashScreen(){
           
           
           
           
            BitmapField bf = new BitmapField(Bitmap.getBitmapResource("default.png"));
            add(bf);
           
            Thread thData = new Thread(new Runnable(){
               public void run()
               {
                 UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater (new Runnable() {
                   public void run()
                    {  
                    try{
                            Advertisement ads = new Advertisement();
                           
                            ads.PropertyTypeXML();
                           
                              UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen(new SearchScreen(ads));  
                            }
                            else{
                                lb.setText("Error in Connection.");
                            }
                        } catch(Exception e){System.out.println("Error ==> " + e.getMessage());}
                    }
                   });
                }
            });
               
            thData.start();
    }
   
   
   
}
