You don't display the page from a background thread, you display
things in the UI thread. You load and/or process the data in a
background thread. This is a way of doing that, I'm sure there's other
ways to do it.
private void loadInBackground() {
final Runnable runInUIThread = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// do stuff in UI thread after
}
};
new Thread() {
@Override
public void run() {
// do stuff in background first
// then call UI thread
mHandler.post(runInUIThread);
}
}.start();
}
