Android ProgressDialog with threading problem?

If you're on the main thread, you should use that to display the ProgressDialog and spin off another thread for getMostWanted() . Assuming you want the ending of getMostWanted() to dismiss the dialog, you should look at AsyncTask.

Amin is correct that a good way to approach the problem is with an AsyncTask, although his implementation doesn't quite fit your needs. You would create your dialog in onPreExecute(), and remove it in onPostExecute().

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
