Handler is Android's standard way to get stuff back on the main thread. Create one in the main thread, then post messages or (Runnable objects if desired) to get what you want to that thread. The other Java concurrency stuff can be useful, but be careful because you don't want to end up with your main thread using that and blocking on one of the other threads for data from it. The main thread is message-based, so posting messages to it via Handler is a good approach. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] 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.
