It is almost trivial to, from another thread, schedule a Runnable on the
window's thread to do work on it:

void myThreadDoingStuff() {
    // ...
    final int viewVisibility = somethingWeComputed;
    //
    final View view = getSomeViewInWindow();
    view.getHandler().post(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            view.setVisibility(viewVisibility);
        }
    });
    // ...
}

Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to
provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.  All such
questions should be posted on public forums, where I and others can see and
answer them.
