Alternatively, you may want to use Message and Handler to do your non UI Thread work. There are quite a few examples out there about this. An excellent item that covers it (and deals with some other common issues) is Eric Burke's common thread bug article: http://www.ociweb.com/jnb/jnbJan2009.html
Also, here is an example project that uses a Thread (outside of the UI thread) to fetch data over the network: http://unlocking-android.googlecode.com/svn/chapter3/trunk/RestaurantFinder/src/com/msi/manning/restaurant/ReviewDetail.java.
