Need to revisit how dictionary gets loaded for Boggle

[etcadinfinitum]

Currently, the serialized dictionary is loaded on activity launch for boggle, causing a 3-5 second delay while the activity generates. Possible solutions include one or more of the following options:

• implement a handler to load dictionary in background after the activity is populated
• load dictionary on app launch, and pass the dictionary as part of state when Boggle activity is launched (would need a 'welcome screen' or something similar when app is launched due to initial overhead)
• Implement boggle as a fragment so it can directly access dictionary from parent activity?

Need to ask for help on this one - unsure of the best way to proceed.

I am closing this issue for now, because a splash screen activity with very simple XML display has been implemented and the dictionary is now accessible globally after being loaded on application launch.

There may be a more elegant/ideal solution, but this will work for the time being.
