AFAIK, work done directly in the callbacks (onCreate(), etc.) block the GUI thread, so any non-visual work that takes a noticeable amount of time should be done on a background thread. Note that such threads can't update the GUI, so they should use a Handler or something for that. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ -- Available Now! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
