Hi Guys!
I have the following problem:
The user, who is using the app. should be able to define when he wants to
send his or her SMS.
Therefore I have a textfield, where the user can define when to send the
next SMS ( in minutes! ).
Now my problem is that I have two buttons: SMS send and Cancel .
When the user presses the SMS send button an SMS should be sent and this
SMS should be sent every x minutes ( the minutes the user has already
defined in the textfield ).
But the Cancel button should cancel this process and here is my problem: As
soon as the user presses SMS send the Ui hangs and the user is not able to
press the cancel button anymore.
I know I can solve the problem with a Thread or maybe with the
"doInBackground" method but I am not sure whether I am on the right track!
Can anyone help me please, I am not sure whether I am right!
Thank you very much!
Here is my code:

}
}
}
}
});

Repeater.length() == 0)

}
}
