I'd assume that he means that he's sleeping in the main thread and it's causing ANRs, or just sluggish performance. If you want to download data, do it in a separate thread, look at AsyncTask. If you look at AsyncTask, you should find what you need, you can google around for examples. You can also use a service to do your downloading for you, if you want to coordinate between different pieces of the app. (Note however, that you still have to use a separate thread, as a service in and of itself is not a separate thread.)
