Hi I have an Activity which user open upon click on a TAB. Actually I have a ViewGroup and Tabactivity as Main Activity. on the first tab I have three activity.
Now in an activity I have a list view (custom) populating on Oncreate and a ViewFlipper (only adding view) in Onresume using AsyncTask.
In that asynctask in Pre Execute if I add code for loader it gives error. Also If I do not show the loader the screen is freezing until the Async task finished.
I actually want to load the list view first and then in background run the async task with a loader. Also does not want to freeze the screen.
Here Is My Acivity
