Hey all, thanks for all your help so far! I have the following
function running on a timer every 20 seconds or so. However, every
time it runs, my user interface for this program (an EditText box and
a submit Button) freezes until the HttpPost is finished. Is there a
way for me to run this function "in the background" or something so it
doesn't freeze the interface? Is there a more efficient way to do
what I'm trying to do here? The "chatscreen" variable is a TextView.
Thanks for your help!
public void updateChat() {
// get chat updates
HttpClient updateclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost updatepost = new
HttpPost("https://www.mysite.com/chat.php?
action=updatechat");
ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new
BasicResponseHandler();
String responseBody;
try {
// send message
responseBody = updateclient.execute(updatepost,
responseHandler);
if (responseBody != "")
{
chatscreen.append(responseBody);
chatview.fullScroll(View.FOCUS_DOWN);
mytext.setText("");
mytext.requestFocus();
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// error sending message
chatscreen.append("There was an error retrieving the
message.\n");
} catch (IOException e) {
// error sending message
chatscreen.append("There was an error retrieving the
message.\n");
}
}
