Answer 1

AndroidAsync library I wrote to handle this automatically, it will run in the background and reinvoke onto the UI thread:

https://github.com/koush/AndroidAsync

// url is the URL to download. The callback will be invoked on the UI thread
// once the download is complete.
AsyncHttpClient.getDefaultInstance().get(url, new AsyncHttpClient.StringCallback() {
    // Callback is invoked with any exceptions/errors, and the result, if available.
    @Override
    public void onCompleted(Exception e, String result) {
        if (e != null) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return;
        }
        System.out.println("I got a string: " + result);
    }
});
