I know that ProgressDialog with Threads questions have been asked many times but none of the solutions seem to work for my project. Basically what I want to do is this: 1) when

Answer 1

For your last problem, put "Looper.prepare();" into your run() method.

        @Override
        public void run() {
            Looper.prepare();
            authenticate(); // method that calls the API via SOAP
            authenticateReal(); // method that handles the response
        }

Did you check if your response in your authenticate() method is working correctly? (using LogCat to display the response)

Otherwise, better use AsyncTask (like suggested).
