            if (isActivating) {
                loadingManager.show('Loading...');
            } else {
                loadingManager.hide();
            }
        });

        router.isNavigating.subscribe(function (isNavigating) {
            if (!isNavigating) {
                loadingManager.hide();
            }
        });
		
        loadingManager.show('Initialization...').then(function () {
            myApi.init().then(function () {
                router.init();
            });
