Transparent overlay splash screens in Android

[Paul12 0]

Hi, I wish to create a splash screen in android to show activity (preventing user input while processing)

A simple form with a Skia/lotte animation does the trick, though only .Show not .ShowModel works in Android but it covers the whole screen

It would be better if it appeared over the current activity form.

Any suggestions on how to do this ?

Hi

 

If you want to prevent the user activities for a waiting animation you simply have to put a Layout with contents alignement and HitTest=True. Instead of using a Form for your animation, use a TFrame or a simple image component.

 

Of course if the user is supposed to have a real keyboard, you must intercept onKeyDown events.
