Create Android Splash Screen / Loading

Question

I have an application that uses OpenGL in GLSurfaceView. The problem is that the initial load takes a lot of time when processing textures and getting ready for work.

What I want to do is show a simple PNG (with a little animation) while the GLSurfaceView is preparing. Once ready for rendering, I would like to tear down the splash of the screen.

What is the right way to do this? I tried ViewFlipper, ViewSwitcher and many other things to switch between my R.layout.main view and my GLSurfaceView, but I can’t figure out how it is right.

Any ideas?

</RelativeLayout>

glSurfaceView

    public GlRenderer(Context ctx)
            {
loader_dialog = new Dialog(context,android.R.style.Theme_Black_NoTitleBar_Fullscreen);
loader_dialog.setContentView(R.layout.loader);
loader_dialog.show()
//do your initializations....
loader_dialog.dismiss();
}
