Psedo code:
main thread:
start_thread();
wait_thread_done();
work thread:
doing_sth();
notify_main_thread();
What is the easiest way to do this in android?
The easiest way to do this is with Android’s AsyncTask. The documentation is here
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html
And you can call Activity.runOnUiThread() to update the UI from your background task.
