How to fix long start times and blank white screen for Android Apps built on Phonegap and jQTouch
<![CDATA[In some cases an Android app built on the jQTouch extension of
the Phonegap Framework can take 10 to 30 seconds to start.
During this time the user sees a blank white screen.
Here is a workaround that reduces startup to a few seconds:
First delete the line with the standard initial call to jQTouch (e.g. $.jQTouch({options}).
Then add the following functions and style property to your body tag.
function init()
{
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
}
function onDeviceReady()
{
$.jQTouch({statusBar:'black'}); //the options do not matter
$('body').css('display','inline');
}
<body onload="init();" style="display:none;">
That's all! Good luck.]]>
