[android-developers] Re: View.post* methods are not thread-safe

Thanks for the info, Romain.

Fixed in 3.0? Do you know in which platform version this bug first
appeared? My searches didn't locate a previous bug report -- but my
apps did :-(

I'll revise my message: The View.post* methods are meant to be thread-
safe, but they aren't prior to 3.0
