Question

I want to force android to wait AND continue processing something at the same time. I have seen the Thread wait function, but that just makes things hang for a while not actually letting the app do anything. Subsequent processes are simply queued up waiting their turn.

I want to force the timing of a process. This is kind of a combination between having a thread with a wait AND an asynctask

insight appreciated

Answer 1

public class yourActivity extends Activity{
final WebView yourWebview; //this is the webview
Context mContext = this;

public void onCreate(Bundle B){
setContentView(R.id.somethingtoshow);//this will be shown while webview working

Runnable yourRun = new Runnable(){
public void run(){
yourWebview = new WebView(mContext);
//do whatever you want with it
//loadUrl and whatever you want

//when your done
runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
setContentView(yourWebView);
}
});

}
};
Thread T= new Thread(yourRun);
T.start();
}

}
