Android: Where to dismiss my splash screen

My app loads up a json feed and a webview, the url of the webview is taken from the webview. I cannot show anything until both of these are loaded, therefore I am using a splash screen. My problem is that my webview connects to a socket.io server using XHR-Long Polling. Therefore, my webview thinks that it is still loading data, and never fires the onPageFinished event, which is where I was previously dismissing my dialog, before I added socket.io. This means that the splash screen never dismisses.

Where can I put my .dismiss() so that it only dismisses once everything is loaded? Is there anything I can do to make the webview think it has loaded the page? My question is basically, what is the best way to handle this?

Thanks

you can bind your Android dismiss() to the WebView's Javascript interface, then call it from Javascript code running in the WebView (e.g. in your XHR callback).

Check this out : http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview.html#UsingJavaScript
