[android-developers] Re: app freezes on slow connection waiting for response from mysql server

2011-03-23 Thread j.s. mammen
Is the connection to the server in seperate thread than the UI? If
not, one of the way to do is described here
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html

 Hi all,
 I have an app that I set up to connect/parse json data/HttpPost to a
 mysql server via php..

 Everything works perfectly if there is a basic connection, and if
 there is no connection my handlers work flawlessly.
 The problem is when the server is slow to respond like 15-30+ seconds
 the activity just freezes. I cannot add a progress dialog to handle
 it, the app freezes until the android dialog pops up stating Force
 Close or Wait if I click wait it will eventually get up and
 running.

 Anyone know how to handle this situation so if the connections is
 dreadfully slow it doesn't cause the activity/app to freeze?

 Please help all suggestions appreciated
 Thanks,
 Albert
