I am parsing the xml file containing some names using the Async task and populating these names to the listview again via the main thread. But whats happening in my case is, when the Async task is still running, the main thread is already populating the names to the listview which is resulting in no items on the listview. Should i make the main thread wait until the Async task finish the job or is there any other way to solve this prob.? if yes how can i make the main thread wait when i don’t know that how long the Async task might take to finish.?

    If you have used AsyncTask, then do the xml fetch in doInBackground() and update all your UI elements of the listview inside the onPostExecute(), this runs on the main UI thread and is automatically after doInBackground(). This way you dont have to explicitly make the UI thread wait
