[android-developers] Re: Splash + Background loading design pattern

You can create a subclass of Application and start the loading in its
onCreate() method.

When the second activity is started it can check if the loading is
completed. If it's not completed yet it can register itself as a
listener that will be called by the AsyncTask.

However, as a user I would prefer to have the splash screen and
progress dialog merged into one screen with the logo, a progress
indicator and the text "Loading list. Please wait..."
