Question

I am now working on an android app in which I need to display a text after some processing is done.
I’m using a Thread to run a process in the back while my progress dialog is being displayed to the user. The Thread works properly and I’ve followed it step by step and, apparently, it also ends fine; however, the method in which I call it does not seem to come to an end (at least, during a normal cycle) because the text I am setting afterward does display immediately, I have to wait and do some other action (like in order for it to display

Below is the piece of code I’m having trouble with:

private OnClickListener saldoDisp = new OnClickListener(){
    public void onClick(View v){
        int x = s2.getSelectedItemPosition();
        branchSel = arrSucsId[x];
        mainProc();
             saldoAdminTex.setText(strSaldo);  //The late one
    }
};    

public void mainProc(){
    chekP = new Thread (null,doProc,"Background");
    chekP.start();
    mProgress =ProgressDialog.show(SivetaAsaldo.this, "","Obteniendo saldo...",true, false);    
}

private Runnable doProc = new Runnable(){
    public void run(){
        if(getSaldoAdmin(levelSel,branchSel))
        {
            mProgress.dismis();
                    Log.i(TAG,"Task completed properly");
        }else       
            handler.post(tosti);
    }
};

So I do get the “Task completed properly” but seems like it still waits for something else, any clues guys?
Thanks for taking a bit of your time to check it out =).
