How can I make a Button more responsive?

Question

I have noticed that some Buttons don\'t seem as responsive as they could be. This applies equally to my app and to most other apps I\'ve tried.

When I press a Button

So what basically happens in any Android application is that the GUI runs in the main thread. If you happen to run some other heavy stuff in the same thread, like communication, video, loops etc. these activities will definitely slow your GUI down. This has happened to my app in the past, then I moved all other processes to a separate thread each and the GUI became really real-time responsive.
