Hi Guys
I've got a game where the final .apk file size is around 6MB and it was taking anywhere from 10 to 25 seconds to load after initial installation with the user seeing nothing but a blank screen. In fact Android sometimes complained that game was taking to long and asked if I want to force close it !
I've tried adding a very small splash .swf (less than 4KB !) which then loads the main swf and images but the loading time is still around 10 seconds ! (if the user has the game in memory it does load immediately so that's something!)
So my questions are
(A) Is the android Air runtime loading the whole .apk file before displaying anything onscreen ?
(B) Is it possible to get large (5 to 10 MB) AIr apps (AS3 not Flex) to load with a splash screen appearing immediately? if so what's the basic technique
(C) is it possible for one APK to call another apk
Thanks in advance guys
Opps - I should also say that the same game on the iPhone and on a PC has a splash appearing straight away
