A Thread object is not on a separate OS thread until the Thread is called with start(). Notably, the Thread constructor is called on the thread of whoever invokes the constructor. Background work occurs on the Thread's run() method. You want to do the IP connection in the background. Hence, do not do it in a Thread constructor. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Online Training: 10-14 May 2010: http://onlc.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
