I am trying, I always get errors, here's my code:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
final Dbadapter db = new Dbadapter(this); // This creates an instance
of the database in this class
db.open();
boolean cx = db.doesTblExist();
if (cx != true)
{
....... // Long work //
}
else { // do nothing app goes on }
how can I use threads to create a loading progress dialog without
clicks or any user event, just from the initiation of the app?
thanks
