[android-developers] Re: delay

I think that you, very specifically, want to use a ContentProvider as
a local cache between your UI and the network. The Cursor callbacks
make it incredibly convenient to display some kind of interstitial
page (maybe animation) when, at worst, there is no content at all,
and to update it as soon as the network data arrives. It also makes
it so that the second time that the user visits the page, they don't
have to wait a second time. Instead of an AsyncTask, you'll probably
want to look at using a Loader (native in Honeycomb, or by including
the ACP for earlier versions).
