ANR means that you have something holding up the UI thread for longer than the specified time.
For example; You have a button on the screen. The button runs a network request that takes 30 seconds to process. This network request is within the same thread as the button, so the button's click listener doesn't return control to the UI thread for a long time. ANR. To fix this, have the button start a new THREAD and run the network request from within this thread, that way the button returns immediately and the UI thread continues to function while the long process happens in the background. IN GENERAL, anything that can potentially take a "long time" (such as networking or data processing) should be done in a new thread.
