Yes, I have some helpers. Futures are especially useful because they can
wrap failure: you don't need to catch every exception.
You can use implicits to transform a block in a Runnable, to execute it
with runOnUithread:
implicit def toRunnable[A](f: => A):Runnable =
new Runnable() { def run() = f }
future {
(Http / "geoffroycouprie.com").slurp[Char]
} onSuccess { value =>
runOnUiThread {
Toast.makeText(this, value, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
}
