I'm using ProgressDialog to prevent the user from interacting while the device is downloading stuff from internet.
everything was working fine until my client managed to produce this bug :

and I have no idea how to fix this.
any ideas what causes this and how to solve it ?
The log traces back the error to this line :
progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(PixelRainActivity.staticThis, "",PixelRainActivity.staticThis.getResources().getString( R.string.draftProgressMessage), true);
would it solve the problem if I changed it to this :
this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(PixelRainActivity.staticThis, "",PixelRainActivity.staticThis.getResources().getString( R.string.draftProgressMessage), true);
}
});
