How to avoid "Application not responding"

Hello,

my apps grabs about 2000 bitmaps from a sql database and shows them in a scrollview with imageviews.

Collecting these 2000 bitmaps needs a little bit time. On slower devices, the message "application not responding" appears.

My question is: How an I avoid that message?

- Should I use a service to collect the 2000 bitmaps?
- Should I use a thread?
- Would "DoEvents" help?

I tried to use sql.begintransaction .... sql.endtransaction, but I'm always running in an error message ("cursor couldn't initalize" or something like that), so I didn't use sql.begintransaction.

Are there any general hints how to avoid "application not responding" messages?

Best regards,

Carsten
