Answer 1

Why are you creating a new Thread just to wait 2 seconds to call AsyncTask? I would suggest you to remove that Thread, normally call the AsyncTask and inside it place Thread.sleep(....).

Something like:

protected void onPreExecute(String f){
     Thread.sleep(2000);
     //example of setting up something
     f = "whatever";
}

PS: in order to run a Thread, you need to call thread.start. ;)
