Thanks for the example. I'm not surprised it took 9 pages, I don't think this is trivial to understand. I want to understand this better: > the current implementation of AsyncTask limits you to a single > background thread. Im my case, I've extended a ListActivity. I want to populate the list when it is created and when the user scrolls to the end. I'm using onCreate and onScrollStateChanged. Today I am using a Thread in each of those methods. There is a Handler in the ListActivity class to handle messages from the threads. I can't make the connection on how to do that with an AsyncTask. Is it not a match or am I missing it?
