starting window in android

[Revathi K J Ramanan]

Hi all,

I want to know what is the actual use of starting window in android?

What does the functions addStartingWindow and removeStartingWindow
does?

Is it a kind of fake window that will be shown to the user till the
application dispalys the proper window?

Is it created for every application?

What will happen if i dont do a addStartingWindow() call in the
application launch process?

Pleae help me with ur inputs.

Thanks in advance.
