Screen item not appearing when routine called
Hi I am a newcomer to this forum and am using java in Eclipse for Android programming. I have a method :-
private void turnOnRedLight(){
// Code to turn light on.....
}
When I call this from inside another 2nd method the light does not immediately become visble and only appears when the 2nd method exits. Is there any way to make the object visible immediately ??

That sounds like a threading problem. The method is using the thread the jvm uses for updating the GUI so it can't do the update until the method exits.appears when the 2nd method exits

Hi norm - Many thanks for reply. I am fairly new to all this so I am afraid threading doe not mean much to me just yet. Does what you say mean that the problem is ocurring only whist running on a Virtual Machine.? If so would the APP run OK when it is installed on a real Android Tablet?
Re: Screen item not appearing when routine called
By jvm I meant the Android OS that executes the app.

Re: Screen item not appearing when routine called
I am sorry Norm but that doe not mean much to me. It does not suggest anything that might help me to solve the problem. I think that I will have to try installing the App on my Android Tablet and see if it does the same thing there.
