Question

My question is : How can I update my UI while I’m running thread which is downloading some data over internet. If I do something like this :

public void getCollectionsInfo(Context context){
    jsonColl = new JsonCollection();
    final Context acontext = context;

    new Thread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
           jsonColl.executeInsert(acontext);
        }}).start();

 }

How can I refresh my activity where I’m showing the data which I receive via jsonColl.executeInsert(acontext);.

Any kind of help or suggestions are welcomed!
Thanks in advance!

Answer is as below.

public void getCollectionsInfo(Context context){
    jsonColl = new JsonCollection();
    final Context acontext = context;

    new Thread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
           jsonColl.executeInsert(acontext);
mHandlerUpdateUi.post(mUpdateUpdateUi);    

        }}).start();

 }

final Handler mHandlerUpdateUi= new Handler();

    final Runnable mUpdateUpdateUi = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
        //update ui here

        }
    };
