Update BaseAdapter in backgrond Thread, to insert Gallery items in run-time.


Update BaseAdapter in backgrond Thread, to insert Gallery items in run-time.

Refer to the last post "Implement a photo bar using android.widget.Gallery, with custom BaseAdapter, and custom object"; in some case such as the Gallery items have to be downloaded from internet, we cannot wait too long to load Gallery in UI thread.

Update BaseAdapter in backgrond Thread, to insert Gallery items in run-time

We will modify the Java code in "Implement a photo bar using android.widget.Gallery, with custom BaseAdapter, and custom object", to implement a background Thread to insert Gallery items in a dummy delay of 500ms for each item, in run-time. After each item inserted, send a message from the thread to the handle in UI thread to call notifyDataSetChanged() to update the Gallery.
