Thank you Mark, Yes I am trying to redesign it to use AsyncTask. One reason why I did not take this approach is that I just wanted a plain thread that sits and logs user events that are occurring throughout my app and it made more sense to just start that thread when the app starts and shut it down when the app closes. I had a handler which grabs the logs and puts them in db and the thread just sits there and logs them to server.
I saw the google tracker but the apis for analytics are not yet good enough to provide us all the data which we can integrate into our marketing tools. I still hope this issue will be resolved soon.
