Hi All, I'm starting to write an app that will periodically poll an HTTP resource and use the data to update a View. My initial thought process on how this will work is that on application startup, my activity will spawn a worker thread that will maintain an object model of the data and update it as necessary. Ideally this thread would publish back to the UI thread that the data has changed and the UI thread would read the object model and update the view. I'm not too familiar with Android's architecture to support threading and messaging between threads, so I was wondering if there was a good up to date tutorial etc. that someone could point me to.
Thanks, Dave ps. In the past I've used AsyncTask but i don't think it will meet my requirements as the UI thread would need to maintain a timer to kick off an AsyncTask. Ideally I'd like to isolate these two parts of the application as much as possible. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
