background-thread

I need to add lots of views in a loop, while this fragment does that, the app will also have a navigation drawer and action bar where the user can do things. so I would like this process to not a) slow down the app by blocking the user, b) preferably add the views in a background thread. The dilemma is that I think android doesn't like views to be added in a non-UI thread, so is there a best practice for this? I plan to have a progress bar view object visible in the fragment's view while the rest of the views are being generated with the addView and associated computations Romain Guy Instead

I (Basically) need to create a background timer on iOS 4 that will allow me to execute some code when a specific amount of time has passed. I have read that you can accomplish this using some [NSThread detachNewThreadSelector: toTarget: withObject:]; but how does that work in practice? How can I ensure that the thread remains in the background also. Local notifications will NOT work for me, as I need to execute code, not notify the user. Help would be appreciated! Bruno Berisso You can use those call to execute a method (selector) of an object (toTarget) with some parameter (withObject) in a

I am in the process of creating an app that is similar to the built-in SMS app. What I need: a service that is always running in the background every 5 min. the service checks the current location of the device and calls a web service if certain criteria are met, the service should generate a notification (just like the SMS app) when the notification is clicked, the user is taken to the app (just like the SMS app) when the app is installed the service should be started when the device is rebooted, the service should be started What I have tried: - running a regular service which worked just
