LibGDX not running render() method

I'm experiencing a problem using LibGDX.

I have a Screen and in its render method I have:

public class LoadingScreen implements Screen{
private OrthographicCamera guiCam;
private TankChallenge tankChallenge;
private SpriteBatch batcher;
private GL10 OpenGL;

public LoadingScreen(TankChallenge tankChallenge) {
    this.tankChallenge=tankChallenge;
    Gdx.graphics.setTitle("RobotChallange Beta - Loading");

    float AR = Gdx.graphics.getHeight()/Gdx.graphics.getWidth();
    guiCam = new OrthographicCamera(10,10 * AR);
    guiCam.position.set(10f/2,AR*10f/2,0);
    batcher = new SpriteBatch();

    OpenGL = Gdx.graphics.getGL10();
    //loadAssets();
}

@Override
public void render(float delta) {
    OpenGL.glClearColor(1, 0.5f, 1, 1);
    OpenGL.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

    System.out.print("e");
    guiCam.update();
    Sprite sp = new Sprite();
    sp.setColor(1f,1f,0, 1);
    sp.setSize(100,100);
    sp.setOrigin(20, 0);

    batcher.setProjectionMatrix(guiCam.combined);
    batcher.begin();
    batcher.disableBlending();
    sp.draw(batcher);
    batcher.end();
}

I call this by setting it in the implementes ApplicationListener class. I know it is arriving the LoadingScreen because Title is actually set to "RobotChallenge Beta - Loading".

I found a solution for both problems. I added to the Game extending class this:

public void render() {
    super.render();
}

Thanks to this the problem is solved and I don't need to override the SetScreen method. Thanks!

Just remove @Override render() in your Game extending class, that fixes the problem. Overriding setScreen method causes flickering you mentioned.

Immediately after setting this as your screen, you need to call super.render() in your Game extending class. For instance, I use the following method in my main Game extending class for setting the screen:

@Override
public void setScreen(Screen screen)
{
    super.setScreen(screen);
    super.render();
}

This seems to kick off render() being called.
