Answer 1

Your problem is that

 public void onClick(View v) {
            postData(lat, lon);
        }

runs on the UI thread. It means that while you do the "post" action, the UI isn't refreshed and cannot be accessed - your app get stuck until the post ends.

You need to do something like:

  public void onClick(View v) {
        PostAsyncTask postAsyncTask = new PostAsyncTask();
        postAsyncTask.execute();
    }



 private class PostAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<URL, Integer, Long> {
 protected Long doInBackground(URL... urls) {
     postData(lat, lon);
     return 0;
 }

 protected void onPreExecute() {
     // show progress dialog
 }


     protected void onPostExecute(Long result) {
         // hide  progress dialog
     }
 }

Move postData off the main thread to a secondary thread. Look at Async task for examples here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html
