Android Question Call a sub from activity while running a process

[phukol]

Hi guys im trying to run service which calls data from a remote DB. I then parse the result to a local db (sqlite). My problem is that i am trying to make use of a loading screen (inside the activity) and i want to update the sub calling my loading screen from the service (so that it will somehow update the user of the progress). If i call callsubdelayed, it will only call the sub from the service to the activity right? what i want is for the service to call the sub and returns back to the service until it is finished. can someone point me as to how i can accomplish this.

The service doesn't stop when you call a sub with CallSubDelayed. It continues to do whatever it did before the call.

Thank you Erel, i am trying to update the text and data from inside the sub of an activity by calling it from a service that is currently running but the sub of the activity doesnt seem to update. Im running the sub inside a thread.

My english is not too much skilled, maybe I don't understand your needs, but to update UI items in a service I use a small sub in Activity, passing the data in CALLSUB. In that sub I transfer the passed data to UI.
Have a nice day !

If IsPaused(frmLecturas)=False Then
CallSub(frmLecturas, "RefrescarDatos")
End If

Not that the IsPaused check is not required in this case. Nothing will happen if the activity is paused.
