title: android startactivity display issue
body: <p>pIn my application i have a startup page which is a splash. As soon as this activity is started i am setting the content to this page. Then i am doing all the initial updates like DB sync. On completion of those i start next actvity.</p>
  
  <p>SO i deally my applictaion should start showing the splash page and after few secs it should display next page.</p>
  
  <p>What i am getting is when i start the application, there is this blank black page for few secs and then directly second activity page is displayed. If i comment out starting next activity, i can see the black page for few seconds and then the splash page comes and stays</p>
  
  <p>here is my layout and code</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"&gt;
     &lt;ImageView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/defaultimage"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
              android:scaleType="fitXY"
              &gt;&lt;/ImageView&gt;
  
  
  &lt;/LinearLayout
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>></p>
  
  <pre><code>public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
              super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
              Utils.setStartActivityinstance(this);
              this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
              setContentView(R.layout.firstpage);
          Log.i(TAG, "display set");
              Utils.imageLoader = new ImageLoader(this.getApplicationContext());
              initialise();
              doDataSync();
          displayHome();
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>setContentView is called before the initialisations but the display is not getting updated.</p>
