I assume you are trying to do the comm on your main thread. Which is going to hang the app.
I have not messed with Android in a while. There are several ways to not hang your app, I have used a couple. If you want to do comm and still allow user interaction do the comm in another thread and use a CountDownLatch to detect when the comm is complete. If you just want to avoid blocking do the code as a Task extends AsyncTask. There are a few methods you have to implement and you can show a "task processing" dialog until the comm is complete. If you cannot find an example I might be able to scrounge one up...
