final Handler myHandler = new Handler(){
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
updateUI((String)msg.obj);
}
};
Would someone please let me know what the curly brace '{' and its contents mean in this context? what is the purpose?
Jump to PostIt's called an anonymous inner class, it defines a new subclass of Handler and creates an instance of it. Google Java anonymous inner class for tutorials etc.
To make myself clearer, I have problem with the syntax rather than the code.
