I used to implements the progress of "downloading sth" in a worker thread,
and new a thread when u choose the corresponding option in the menu ( overriding onOptionsItemSelected funciton) yet the UI will be frozen once you choose the download option in the menu Is using asynctask instead the better solution??? Whats the difference between thread and asynctask??? Any response is greatly appreciated.
