I have an app that downloads a file from an FTP server upon tapping the file in a listview. Once the tap is received the download starts. This causes my app to become unresponsive, in logcat it is giving me the debugging info from the server and it is downloading just fine, the issue is this. If the download takes too long say over a minute or so android thinks the application is froze and asks if the user wants to Force Close or Wait. How do I prevent this?
