What is recommended way to update android ui from a -continuous- background thread?

Question

I\'ve read well enough on the subject to get well and thoroughly confused. I\'m doing a workout tracker app such as RunKeeper, which tracks how long and how far the user has

Answer 1

USe the following thread in AsyncTask... I hope this will work for you ....

   Handler mHandler;
private final Runnable mRunnable = new Runnable() {

        public void run() {
            Call your AsyncTask Class;;;;
            mHandler.postDelayed(mRunnable, 1000);
        }

    };

Answer 2

Use runOnUiThread().

Define a Runnable:

private Runnable mRunnable = new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        mTextViewOne.setText("10 miles!");
        mTextViewTwo.setText("40 minutes!");
    }
};

Inside your continuous thread:

runOnUiThread(mRunnable);
