Ah, I can't believe I did that. Sorry about that and thanks for your advice. The error was that eclipse kept telling me I was providing the wrong context. And, that the method with such a signature didn't exist. It wouldn't let me even compile the code (let alone run it). Somehow the same code works now without any changes. Although, I added the other activity to my manifest file so maybe that was the issue.
I will take a look at the other methods you suggested. - Moazzam On Jul 24, 6:42 am, Mark Murphy <mmur...@commonsware.com> wrote: > moazzamk wrote: > > I have a function in my activity that starts a new thread and that > > threads send a message back to an event handler.
