Enhancement/Request: timeout when loading XML map

The mapbox loading into a view can cause an app to hang for half a second or so. When you declare the map in XML and navigate to the page you have no way to delay that execution so it doesn’t cause an interruption to the navigation transition.

A simple solution would be to add a property on the XML view, such as delayMapInit and then accept a value in milliseconds, so then we can make sure the navigation transition has completed before the map constructor is started which isn’t the smoothest process. Let me know your thoughts @EddyVerbruggen, you might have a better idea since you know the SDKs better than I for mapbox.

Yes I’ll test this out soon.

Can you update the plugin from GitHub (see the last check-in). You get to set a delay property in the XML definition. For instance, delay=“500” means the plugin will wait half a second before invoking the Mapbox SDK.
