title: Blank page on application startup
body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried this but it doesn't work though in principle I think it should. </p>
  
  <p>In my styles.xml I have </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;style name="NoBackground" parent="android:Theme"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:windowBackground"&gt;@null&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and in my manifest file I have</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;application
      android:name=".FIXR"
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@drawable/launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:theme="@style/NoBackground" &gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a better way to get rid of this?</p>
