Thanks for the response. I tried switching to AsyncTask and have had great success but I am now stuck on what appears to be a minor point. Yet I can see my error. Attached is a snippet:
private class LoadSchedules extends AsyncTask<Object, Object, Object> {
@Override
protected void onPreExecute () {
mProgressText.setText("Let's begin");
}
@Override
protected Object doInBackground(Object... arg0) {
publishProgress("agencies");
Load_Table("agencies", "agency.txt",AgencyFlds, mAgencies);
publishProgress("calendar");
Load_Table("calendar","calendar.txt",CalendarFlds, mCalendar);
publishProgress("routes");
Load_Table("routes", "routes.txt", RouteFlds, mRoutes);
return true;
}
@Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... tablename){
mProgressText.setText("Loading " + tablename);
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute (Object b) {
mProgressText.setText("Game over");
}
}

The compiler keeps complaining that my onProgressUpdate method must “Override or implement a supertype method”. When I remove the @Override, the compiler is happy. However when I run the app, I do not get the progress updates. I have tried various combinations of coding this method but with no success. I am sure it is something simple. Can someone please save me some time?
TIA

Could someone please point out where I am going wrong?
You're executing long-running processes in the main thread (onCreate) which don't return control to the main (UI) thread to allow it to show your progress dialog until it's too late. Look into AsyncTask.
Also, the "mCtx = this;" is rather pointless. You're keeping a reference to yourself - which is exactly what "this" is.
