Is there any speed difference or functional difference in showing a card w/ image on openCard vs using a splash screen in the standalone settings? Presume the actual app has a non-trivial loading time, would the built-in splash screen standalone settings get the splash screen displayed any faster than calling a card?

Found the "best" way to do it, and by best I mean speed optimized. Don't use native splash screen, and don't use a separate card. On preOpenCard create a splash screen group, on openCard show the group. Do your draws/create graphics, initialize all settings, and when they are finished, hide the splash screen group. All that background time that would have been unused is now spent actually performing card operations.

Hi Steve,

thanks for sharing your experiences!
Looks like I completely overlooked the "Mobile" in the subject, I always check the forum the question is in first
