Check out the AsyncTask object:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html
Simple sample would be like:
private class AsyncInit extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>
{
public static boolean bThreadRunning = false;
public Context context;
private ProgressDialog pdDialog;
@Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
bThreadRunning = true;
pdDialog = ProgressDialog.show( context, "", "Doing something,
please wait...", true );
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result)
{
bThreadRunning = false;
pdDialog.dismiss();
}
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params)
{
// Do something here in the background
return null;
}
}
Then you can just activate that by this:
public void openBackground( Context context )
{
if( !AsyncInit.bThreadRunning )
{
AsyncInit atInit = new AsyncInit();
atInit.context = context;
atInit.execute( null, null, null );
}
}
There are other options available also, check out Threads, Handlers and
Runnables also.
