Thank you for the reply, > as I'm sure this question has been asked before. I was also sure that it has been asked before because its a common task, But searching the web or this group did not give me the appropriate results.

Here I am loading a webpage and this is happening in the same thread or it appears to be. I can also get the progress of it from the WebView. I am not doing any background activity like calculations or downloading stuff, but loading the page which is on the same thread. So I am a little lost on how to get this done. Thanks again.
