Hi all,
i'm trying to do the following:
1. Fetching an external resource through a seperate thread;
2. When loaded this thread sends a message to the specified handler
3. This handler executes a method which sets a view to visible
All goes well, but now i want to include an extra time, so that when the
external resource is not loaded after 5 seconds, the view is going to be
displayed anyway. But here's the catch, my handler function goes well, but
when i excute the same method outside the handler, it sets the View.visible
just fine, but the view just isn;t displaying.
the code reads something like:
Timer timer = new Timer();
Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
date.add(Calendar.SECOND, 1);
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
displayArticleList();
}},
date.getTime()
);
// fetch the feed in a seperate thread
final Handler feedHandler = new Handler(){
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public void handleMessage(Message message) {
displayArticleList();
}
};
.......
protected void displayArticleList(){
Log.d("Here", "displayArticleList method: " +
ll_splash.getVisibility() + " == " + View.GONE);
if(!(ll_splash.getVisibility()==View.GONE)){
ll_splash.setVisibility(View.GONE);
LinearLayout alc = (LinearLayout)
findViewById(R.id.article_list_container);
alc.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}
