Kostya, Please clear my following doubts.
Is it really necessary to make my background thread stop all the time when my Application is not getting shown. Cant we make my our Application smart enough so that it should not do anything when our Application is not in the context. Like in above case we can create dialog in onCreateDialog so that it should be attached to the screen and should not be visible when screen is not getting shown.
