  1. POAsyncTask to call another function within class

    copied!<p>Basically, do I have to put code I want to run on another thread inside doInBackground, or can I call another function/class/whatever-it-is-functions-are-called-in-JAVA within doInBackground and have it run asynchronously? IE: (example code I found online)</p> <pre><code> protected String doInBackground(String... params) { for(int i=0;i&lt;5;i++) { try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.output); txt.setText("Executed"); return null; } </code></pre> <p>is how I have seen it done, but can I instead do:</p> <pre><code> protected String doInBackground(String... params) { postToServer(x,y,z,h); } </code></pre> <p>and have it call a function I already wrote and then have that function run in another thread? Sometimes my HTTP server is a bit slow to respond (it is but a lowly testing server at the moment) and Android automatically pops up the kill process box if my postToServer() call takes more than 5 seconds, and also disables my UI until the postToServer() call finishes. This is a problem because I am developing a GPS tracking app (internally for the company I work for) and the UI option to shut the tracking off freezes until my postToServer() finishes, which sometimes doesn't ever happen. I apologize if this has been answered, I tried searching but haven't found any examples that work the way I'm hoping to make this work.</p>
