Hi!
My app starts a database server upon loading and it takes a few seconds before the app window is created. Is there any way to display a splash screen during startup prior to window creation?
Thanks!

Oh, I should mention I'm building for desktop. Targeting OS X and Windows.

I'd move the blocking code out of build() and Clock.schedule_once it.
First thing is to load the UI (use a screen manager for example) of
the splash, then let the database load.
If you're ambitious you could do the loading in a separate thread but
be aware of the many pitfalls.
