If the "set of background threads" are from the activity, just talk to the activity (e.g., onPostExecute() in AsyncTask). If the "set of background threads" are in a Service, use createPendingResult() in Activity to create a PendingIntent that will route to the activity's onActivityResult() and pass that PendingIntent to the service. Or, if you are using the local binding pattern, pass a callback object from the activity to the service. Or, use a ResultReceiver. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 2.2 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
