No error occurs in the Dalvik Debug Monitor.

Answer 1

I would recommend to use AsyncTask for this case. So in your AsyncTask.onPreExecute() you call Activity.showDialog(int id), do your networking job in AsyncTask.doInBackground() and Activity.dismissDialog(int id) the dialog in AsyncTask.onPostExecute().

I think that’s the most correct way of doing such “under-popup” things.
