I know that the UI elements (View hierarchy) may only be manipulated from the UI thread. For a background operation, the AsyncTask can be used, which offers event handers to reach the UI thread.
To be brief, is it allowed to instantiate a View (tied to getApplicationContext()) in a non-UI thread? This custom View descendant -- once instantiated -- is added to the view hierarchy from the UI thread. So only the constructor call is done inside an Asynctask.doInBackground; its attaching (addView(...))to the Activity's root layout hierarchy is still done in the UI thread. (I pre-instantiate the View in an asynctask because when it's needed in an Activity, it must be instantly displayed.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
