Also, if it is a "things are progressing" display rather than an About box, why aren't you using an android.Widget.ProgressBar instead? People are used to seeing a Progress Bar disappear when the underlying things are done. But they are not so used to About boxes (or things like them) disappearing.

None of that information really helps us figure out the problem... What you need to do is look at the logcat info when the FC occurs. There should be a "caused by" line that will tell you what the problem is, along with the file and line number. ---
