Hi,
When you launch an app, you have immediately a static image (see “Angry birds” for example) on your screen and you wait until the app is ready.
In some cases, for example “Cut the rope”, you also have a percentage animation or an animated bar which tell you how long you have to wait…
I’d like to know how to put a loading screen on my app?
I tried to find how to do that, maybe I don’t use the good vocabulary, don’t know, but I didn’t find informations on that subject.
Any help would be great

Brent,
Just before I jump into this “progress bar code”, one question for a simpler method :
I read carefully this tutorial :
http://www.coronalabs.com/blog/2012/05/15/handling-corona-system-events/
and it says : “You app will receive an “applicationStart” event when your app launches (from a closed/cold state, not a suspended state), and after the code in main.lua has executed.”
So I tried to put this first image on main.lua as the first lines of code, and then remove it in when I receive the applicationStart event but I didn’t succeed…
Can you tell me where I should create the first image of my app, a static one, without anything else, the one which users see just right before they click on my icon app?
Thank you

Hi Olivier,
Would you just like a static “loading screen” that shows when a user opens your app? Are you using iOS or Android?
Brent [import]uid: 200026 topic_id: 35697 reply_id: 142123[/import]
Yes that’s it Brent
Even if the progress bar stuff is very interesting…
I’m using iOS
Thank you
Olivier

Hi Olivier,
For a simple, non-animated “loading screen”, Apple requests that you include the following images in your project directory. These will show up when you load the app, in the background as it loads other custom assets that you need. Here is the list of file names and according image sizes:
Default.png 320x480
Default@2x.png 640x960
Default-Portrait.png 768x1004
Default-Landscape.png 1024x748
Default-Portrait@2x.png 1536x2008
Default-Landscape@2x.png 2048x1496
Default-568h@2x.png 640x1136
Hope this helps,

Thank you Brent
That’s what I’m looking for
I thought (I don’t know why :)) it was different with Corona.
It definitely helps
Thanks again
Sincerely
Olivier
