Hi everyone,

Can anyone point me in the right direction for this?
I have an android application a loop of code that can sometimes take a while to complete.
The problem is that if the user leaves the device sitting while this is happening, the screen will turn it's self off causing the loop to pause.

Is there a way I can either prevent the screen from turning off while this loop completes, or to allow the process to continue while the screen is asleep?

Preferably I'd like to be able to do this only for this procedure, so everything else pauses when the device sleeps per normal.

Thanks!

Never mind. I figured out I can use ThreadExecute() to accomplish this.

Now to figure out why it's slowing down the longer it runs.

Hi Robert,

if you are adding stuff to a string in a loop, you may have the cause of
the slowing down

Best regards
