[android-developers] Re: Very slow start in my application

Hi,

I'd suggest you do find the culprit not just hide it away. Having
found it, consider what parts can be made to work asynchronously with
Threads or Async tasks. 5 second startup is close to getting ANR
warning message. Usual recommendation is don't do to much processing
(more than a second of so) on the UI thread.

Regards
