How can I make a loading screen in android mode?

It would be cool if there is a way to make a loading screen for my android apps, like most apps have.

The simplest way to achieve this task is to display the loading screen in setup()... load everything that you would have loaded in setup() on frame #1... and then start everything normally from frame #2 on. Example:

void setup() {
  //Display loading screen
}

void draw() {
  if(frameCount <= 1) {
    //Load everything
  } else {
    //Regular draw()
  }
}

So simple thanks, I always forget about the useful frameCount variable!
