Ya Mark is right ! You need to use *multithreading* for making a reponsive UI.
Thread.sleep inside spawned thread will give a chance to main UI thread to response to User events. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alok Kulkarni <kulsu...@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 4:44 PM Subject: [android-developers] cursor.moveToFirst() blocking UI To: android-developers@googlegroups.com Hi, I have a background thread which queries for 1000 records at a time. After querying , when i call cursor.moveToFirst(), the UI gets blocked until the operation is completed.This is very disturbing experience for user , especially if there are 10000 plus records.I use Thread.sleep in between after each 1000 records, As soon as cursor.moveToFirst is called, UI blocks for 2 3 seconds. Am i missing anything here ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
