Why do you think this? You might consider taking the approach of passing download instructions to the second activity (via extras) and having it display the progress dialog, arrange for the download, and dismiss the progress dialog. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Development Wiki: http://wiki.andmob.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
