I basically just changed the default.png and [email protected] to the image that I would like to show when the app opens and it can take up to 15-20 seconds for the app to start... does anyone know how I can changed it to open faster?

Is the new image in the app or pulled from a URL? Cheers! -- Smug Comments Is there a major difference in filesize? Is the new image in the app or pulled from a URL? Cheers! -- Smug

Long loading times as Smug said, can be caused if the file is a large size.

Posts: 6316 Reg: Nov 07, 2012 Tamuning, GU 81,410	03/06/13 01:05 AM (12 years ago) Well, in this case I was speaking of file size, like 1.3MB versus 320k or so... that kind of difference... Larger filesize takes longer to load. And I was asking about URL because (at least until the image is loaded and cached) it will also take a little longer to load than an 'internal' image. And of course, a larger filesize via URL takes even longer than that. Just asking...
