Question

i’m beginning to learn android, i meet a problem in my project,

in my application,i create a background thread which get data from remote server by UDP,
in this thread ,i will parse the data and distribute the message to different activity to process, so i don’t know weather is there a mechanism to handle this problem.

thanks for your answer

Answer 1

You should take a look at this article about painless threading in android, and pick a solution that best fits for you.

If you retrieve data from the server repeatedly, maybe you should go with a Service – Handler solution, but AsyncTask seams to be the easiest for me.
