I created an Android WebView app. Right now, I am facing 1-2 seconds of blank screen when navigate between pages. I cache all the resource (js, css, html), but it still show me the blank screen for few hundred milliseconds. It is very quick, but the blank screen still noticeable.

Is there any way to skip or hold the transition screen? Like prevent the page to refresh until all DOM and resources are fully loaded.

  • Could be what you're looking for is a splash screen. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5018069/splash-screen-while-loading-resources-in-android-app – Steve Hansen Smythe Nov 17 '14 at 23:46

Make it into a single-page app! Control the transitions yourself with AJAX (or an framework that abstracts it). This way you can load the site content and only update it when it is done loading (or add your own loader animation)

  • Sorry, I forgot about this questions. Yeah, thats what I have in mind too. But my client insist to keep using multi page app. I think I should just show them what they app looks like if they use single page. – KnightCavalry Nov 27 '14 at 14:46
