preload navController.gotoPage

[HughJohnson]

Is there a way to preload a page before using navController.gotoPage?
What I mean is on the iPhone when I call something like:

Code: Select all

navController.gotoPage("pageName.html?something=something");

The page comes in white, then displays the html on the page, is there a way to have it not flash to white (as it does on the stimulator)? Also when first loading my app (after Default.png is removed) the screen stays white for a fair amount of time, can this also be eliminated?

Basically there is a lot of annoying white on the screen, between pages and I would like it to not be there.

we know about this and this will be fixed, most likely in 1.6

Awesome, in the mean time can you perhaps allow a color change? If it were a yellow background instead of white I could work around it.

it can't be changed now

Sunny, awhile ago I posted elsewhere in the forum about a half-second white flash between the time my default.png appears and the time my first screen (which is identical) appears. There are no navControllers in my project, though I do have a toolbar on every screen.

Is this related to the white-flash issue that Hugh mentioned, and can it be fixed? It's very obvious, and I'm concerned that it could lead to an App Store rejection.

white background is just web-browser which did not load page page yet, when you see your default.png the application loading itself, but page is not loaded yet, so then it shows blank page which starts to load content. It is hard to make it preloaded or something like this on the beginning, so we are working on it and this will be fixed. I afraid there is nothing you can do about it right now.

OK, I'll wait for your fix. :-)
