Most tutorials (mine included) use Thread.Sleep() as an easy way to simulate a method call that takes awhile to return, but you shouldn't be calling that in your situation. In the code you posted, it will always sleep 10 seconds before even trying to call the service. Simply removing the call to Thread.Sleep() will get you what you want, since service.getUsers() will return (I assume) whenever it's done getting its data.
