Never start an activity from a ContentProvider. You already have an activity. It is whatever activity the user is trying to use. That activity needs to operate the progress indicator (e.g., ProgressDialog), not the ContentProvider. For example, you could use an AsyncQueryHandler, so while your initial query is blocked waiting for the ContentProvider to complete...whatever it is doing...the activity can be displaying a progress indicator. Of course, better answers are: -- Find ways to eliminate any significant time required for the "task for upgrading/creating", or -- Consider not using a ContentProvider, switching instead to a Service, which gives you more API flexibility -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
