How do I get rid of the blank page usually with the app name as a title that loads when you start up your application. I've done some reasearch and the best explanation/solution I found was to set the application's theme to null so the android system doesn't draw that page.
I have tried this but it doesn't work though in principle I think it should.
In my styles.xml I have
<style name="NoBackground" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@null</item>
</style>
and in my manifest file I have
<application
android:name=".FIXR"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/NoBackground" >
Is there a better way to get rid of this?
