Hi Guich, You're not alone in your misunderstanding of Android threading. However, if you use AsyncTask correctly, you have a 99% chance of getting it right. Just put any code that blocks, takes a long time, or can timeout into the AsyncTask.doInBackground method instead of into an Activity method.
As an aside, the main UI thread is in way a lengthy task, but none of its methods should be. This may be a generalization, but it should be idle most of the time, ready to respond to user or lifecycle events.
