I have a very simple question:
Is or is it not possible to inflate a view (not add it to layout) in a background thread (ex: in the doInBackground of an AsyncTask)?
I know that it is possible, because I have implemented most Activities in my application this way and never had a problem, until I had this problem on a Galaxy S: Android: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #13: Error inflating class <unknown> in SAMSUNG Galaxy S
I've been told that I should not inflate Views in background threads, but what are the specific reasons and why does my aproach work in most devices but not in Galaxy S?
