i.e. ThreadX has a run() method that calls y.foo(). y.foo() starts a

When I run this - I see the progress dialog but I dont see the new

[android-developers] Re: Start activity within a thread
I think the problem is that the activity I want to do is not started
in startMyActivity() but by a method that is called from
startMyActivity()
public void run()
{
someObject.method();
}
SomeObject.method(){
//This starts the new activity
}

[android-developers] Re: Start activity within a thread
The activity that has the thread running is not written by me but by
someone else and I cannot control what goes in there. My question is
why is the activity that I start from my method never being started.
Progress dialogs are not blocking right?

[android-developers] Re: Start activity within a thread
Actually, progress dialog will kind of blocking your UI thread. So
yes, for Android, using handler to post a message to UI thread is one
of the ways to ensure some code will be executed in UI's thread when
the HandleMessge is invoked by the plaftorm in your UI thread. What
this means is that you can put your UI thread code in the
HandleMessage method in your case.
