Here are my replies, next to the number I am answering for your post: 1) Yes, after every keystroke, I can change that if need be to update on a timer instead (would that be a better way to do it?) 2) I'm still new to Android, sorry. Can you post an example of how I should implement this? Never used LinkedBlockingQueue, but it sounds like it would resolve my issue of sending the http post requests in order, yes? 3) My intent wasn't to create a thread for each key, I just needed to make sure the keystrokes were posted in order, so I thought this was the best way to do it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
