as you can see I use the Retrofit library to send requests to a server inside checkUpdate method, according to the Retrofit library it is done in a background thread. but the problem is main thread is still running and it reaches the startActivity method before the checkUpdate method running in background task has finished.
How can I force my main thread to wait for the background task to finish ?
