Sorry, I'm sure this is very basic stuff.
In the activity my app launches to, the XML for my layout is as follows:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/background2x"
android:id="@+id/mainScreen"
tools:context="com.offyear.www.offyear.WelcomeActivity">
The problem I'm having is that the screen does not load immediately to the background image that I've set. It loads to a blank white screen first for about a half a second before the background image and buttons appear. Granted, this is not breaking my app's functionality or anything, but it's annoying and looks sloppy.
What do I need to do so that there is no initial blank white screen? When my app starts, the first thing the user should see is the background image and buttons.
Thanks, and apologies for the Android 101 question.
