Android updating UI from network thread

When updating the UI after a network operation, it needs to be on a main UI thread. This can be done in android by using the runOnUIThread method

runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

        @Override

        public void run() {

            View baseView = accessory.getViewReference();

            ProgressBar pg = (ProgressBar)baseView.findViewById(R.id.progressBar);

            if(pg != null) {

                progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);

            }

        }

    });
