Sitting in the Background

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

name=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.name);

address=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.addr);

notes=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.notes);

types=(RadioGroup)findViewById(R.id.types);

Button save=(Button)findViewById(R.id.save);

save.setOnClickListener(onSave);

ListView list=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.restaurants);

adapter=new RestaurantAdapter();

list.setAdapter(adapter);

TabHost.TabSpec spec=getTabHost().newTabSpec("tag1");

spec.setContent(R.id.restaurants);

spec.setIndicator("List", getResources()

.getDrawable(R.drawable.list));

getTabHost().addTab(spec);

spec=getTabHost().newTabSpec("tag2");

spec.setContent(R.id.details);

spec.setIndicator("Details", getResources()

.getDrawable(R.drawable.restaurant));

getTabHost().addTab(spec);

getTabHost().setCurrentTab( 0 );

list.setOnItemClickListener(onListClick);

}

Also, add another data member, an int named progress.

Step #2: Create the Work Method......................................................

The theory of this demo is that we have something that takes a long time,

and we want to have that work done in a background thread and update

the progress along the way. So, the first step is to build something that will

run a long time.
