Preload window

I have a tabgroup based app with a very large tableview on the second tab. When I click the second tab, that view is white for a second or two before showing the tableview.

Is there anyway I could load window2 on tab2 while being on window1 on tab1?

  • I'm not aware of a way to preload windows in tabs - what you can do is display some feedback to the user that the table is being populated. If you're doing a remote service request to populate the table, you can display a spinner/indicator of some kind. You might also consider doing a setData twice on the table. Do one setData with a single row that says "Loading…" or something similar, and then replace the table view with real data when it is ready.

    • Is the preload:true on windows in a tabGroup ever going to work? Or is this something that devs shouldn't anticipate ever being possible with Titanium?
