hello there,

I have been trying to provide an answer to one of my own questions, you can see it
here:http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...

so I have created a service an inner class that extends Handler. here is the class:

        private class ServiceHandler extends Handler {

                Session login(final String username, final String password,
final ActivityPendingResult result) {                         post(new Runnable() {                                 public void run() {                                         long id =
Thread.currentThread().getId();                                         // login code here.                                         // creation of Session object                                 }                         });                         return mSession;                 }

                public void handleMessage(Message msg) {                         int what = msg.what;                         switch(msg.what) {                         case 0:                                 ActivityPendingResult result =
(ActivityPendingResult) msg.obj;                                 result.sendResult(0, null, null);                                 break;                         default: break;                         }                 }         }

the hadler.login() method gets called by the login method declared in the Service class. The Service.login method is called by an Activity method. What puzzles me is that i was expecting handler.post() to spawn a new thread, and turn the whole login process into an asynchronous one, instead the thread id is 1 and as a result the interface on the Activity is frozen. what's going on here ?

take care luka- Tekst uit oorspronkelijk bericht niet weergeven -
