The conundrum on Android is that user code can't block in a UI thread and non-UI threads can't manipulate the UI.
I can image that some code is just written so procedurally that blocking Alert calls is the straight-forward way to do it. On the other hand, breaking down a long procedure into shorter methods usually solves the problem. Perhaps if someone could write a coroutine library for Android we wouldn't have to explain this over and over and developers who want to or have to write long blockable procedures will be happy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
