Hey all- I'm trying to make my loading screen [for while data is fetched from the Web] display faster by using a background drawable on the Activity instead of a full-screen ImageView. This works as it should, as in the image is displayed right away by the system instead of showing the default theme background before loading in my ImageView. The problem is I need to be able to scale this image using scaleType="centerCrop", which works great on <ImageView> but apparently not on <bitmap> [although Eclipse doesn't have any problems with me setting it as an attribute of <bitmap>].
Here's a portion of my theme.xml where I set the background drawable.. This works. [I am declaring a custom theme and setting my Activity to use this theme in my manifest.] <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/splash_bg</item> And here's the contents of splash_bg.xml [excluding the top doctype line]. <bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:src="@drawable/grub_truck_splash" android:scaleType="centerCrop" /> Any help would be great! It would be much preferred to do this in the XML rather than programmatically.. I don't think I could get the same instant display of the image effect if I were to do it programmatically, anyhow.
