Say, if i have to display the content of this blog in my application , then 1. I have a UI thread 2. From this UI thread, I should create an intent to call a Service which would then implement ASynckTask 3. This AsyncTask will make http connection and download any blog updates, will pass on the update to the UI activity for display.
Please correct me if i am wrong somewhere.
