Splash screen while loading a url in a webview in android app

I do it by initially showing an ImageView and then once the WebView has loaded, swapping their visibility like this

        WebView wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);        wv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);        wv.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {            ...            @Override            public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {                //hide loading image                findViewById(R.id.imageLoading1).setVisibility(View.GONE);                //show webview                findViewById(R.id.webView1).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);            }        });             wv.loadUrl("http://yoururlhere.com");

And my xml layout looks like this

    <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageLoading1"        android:layout_height="fill_parent"        android:layout_width="fill_parent"        android:visibility="visible"        android:src="@drawable/vert_loading"        />    <WebView android:id="@+id/webView1"        android:layout_height="fill_parent"        android:layout_width="fill_parent"        android:visibility="gone"        />

I have one activity. 1 xml file and 1 java class. Inside xml file i have:

1. WebView
2. ImageView, logo of my application,
3. ProgressBar and
4. TextView, app version .

Code of main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RelativeLayout xmlns:a="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    a:layout_width="fill_parent"    a:layout_height="fill_parent"    a:background="#aaaaaa"    a:orientation="vertical" ><WebView    a:id="@+id/webView1"    a:layout_width="fill_parent"    a:layout_height="fill_parent" /><ImageView    a:id="@+id/imageView1"    a:layout_width="wrap_content"    a:layout_height="wrap_content"    a:layout_alignParentTop="true"    a:layout_centerHorizontal="true"    a:layout_marginTop="46dp"    a:src="@drawable/logo" /><ProgressBar    a:id="@+id/progressBar1"    a:layout_width="wrap_content"    a:layout_height="wrap_content"    a:layout_below="@+id/imageView1"    a:layout_centerHorizontal="true" /><TextView    a:id="@+id/textView1"    a:layout_width="wrap_content"    a:layout_height="wrap_content"    a:layout_alignParentBottom="true"    a:layout_alignParentRight="true"    a:layout_marginBottom="13dp"    a:layout_marginRight="13dp"    a:text="version 1.0"    a:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"    a:textColor="#444444" /></RelativeLayout>

Code of NovcanikActivity.java:

package zm.Nocanik;import android.app.Activity;import android.content.Intent;import android.net.Uri;import android.os.Bundle;import android.view.View;import android.webkit.DownloadListener;import android.webkit.WebSettings;import android.webkit.WebView;import android.webkit.WebViewClient;import android.widget.ImageView;import android.widget.ProgressBar;import android.widget.TextView;public class NovcanikActivity extends Activity {    /** Called when the activity is first created. */    @Override    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);        setContentView(R.layout.main);    WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);    WebSettings websettings = webview.getSettings();    websettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);    websettings.setSaveFormData(false);    websettings.setSavePassword(false);    webview.loadUrl("http://m.novcanik.net/?appvers=1.0");    webview.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);    webview.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);    webview.setBackgroundColor(128);    webview.setWebViewClient(new NovcanikWebViewClient());    webview.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener() {        public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent,                String contentDisposition, String mimetype,                long contentLength) {            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);            intent.setData(Uri.parse(url));            startActivity(intent);        }    });}public void visible(){    WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);    ImageView logo = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);    ProgressBar bar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);    TextView version = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);    webview.setVisibility(10);    logo.setVisibility(0);    bar.setVisibility(0);    version.setVisibility(0);}public void unvisible(){    WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);    ImageView logo = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);    ProgressBar bar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);    TextView version = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);    webview.setVisibility(0);    logo.setVisibility(10);    bar.setVisibility(10);    version.setVisibility(10);}private class NovcanikWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {    @Override    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webview, String url){        webview.loadUrl(url);        return true;    }@Overridepublic void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode,        String description, String failingUrl) {    // TODO Auto-generated method stub    view.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/noconnection.html");}@Overridepublic void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {    visible();}@Overridepublic void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {    unvisible();}}}

Sorry for no description. If there would be need for description, i will describe in detail the entire code.

Just use mWebView.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimary)); for your mWebView
