Yeah, create an AsyncTask<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html>and do your loading/building stuff in that. You can even post a "message" back for the dialog in the onProgressUpdate()<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#onProgressUpdate(Progress...)> .
When it is done onPostExecute()<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#onPostExecute(Result)>will be called where you can call your startActivity(Intent). I will warn you though, use due diligence when implementing AsyncTask: https://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=android+development+asynctask+crash+when+rotating+screen if you destroy the activity that the AsyncTask is tied to then recreate it (as in a screen rotation) the AsyncTask won't know what to do and throw an exception. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
