Hey all,

I was just hoping to get some suggestions on the best way to implement
this...

I have a ListView containing a list of objects with TextViews.  I want
to periodically update these TextViews on a periodic basis in the
background (I make an http post request to a server to receive the
updated text, and then insert it into the text view).  I don't want
the periodic updating of these views to interfere with the user
experience.

There are several ways I could think about doing this... either
through using a Service which I call periodically, a Service which
periodically sends updates (though I dunno if a Service can update an
Activity's list view), or spinning off a separate Thread from the
original Activity.

Does anyone have any suggestions which option would be optimal, and
why?

Thanks,

James
