[mono-android] Splash Page on Resume

[Atsushi Eno]

Hello,

For exactly the same reason you are stuck, I prefer this approach for 
splash screen:

--------
public class MySpashScreenActivity extends Activity {

     private TimerTask task;

     protected void onCreate (Bundle bundle)
     {
         super.onCreate (bundle);
         ImageView iv = new ImageView (this);
         iv.setImageResource (R.drawable.mysplashdrawing);
         ViewGroup.LayoutParams ivparams = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams 
(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
         setContentView (iv);

         task = new TimerTask () {
             @Override
             public void run ()
             {
                 finish ();
                 Intent intent = new Intent (MySpashScreenActivity.this, 
ActualMainLauncher.class);
                 intent.setFlags (Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                 startActivity (intent);
             }
         };
         new Timer ().schedule (task, 2000);
     }
}
--------
