splash screen should appear before main menu appears

[GoogleCodeExporter]

when you launch collect with the splash screen enabled, it shows you the main 
menu for a second before showing you the splash screen. anyway to fix this? if 
not, we should kill that feature.

Works as Designed.  Unlike desktop apps, which use splash screens to hide the 
dynamic linking and resolution of libraries during application start-up, the 
Android has immediate UI presence, so there is no use for the splash screen 
except for branding.  The minimal-code way to accomplish that is with a 
full-screen toast, and that will always render shortly after the initial screen.

works as designed...

Reopening this bug.  Splash screen, if enabled, should appear before the main 
menu.

Additionally:
This should be a selectable option (preference) defaulted to 'off'.  Enabling 
should allow you to select an image from the gallery or from the sdcard.

Yes, there should be a configuration setting to disable it.  The splash is 
disabled if the /sdcard/odk/config/default directory is present.  The user can 
supply a splash screen if they place it in /sdcard/odk/config/default/splash.png

yaw fixed this in 1.1.7 so the splash screen appears correctly and is 
enabled/customizable through the user preferences activity.
