[mono-android] waiting for result from runonuithread

[Martyn Wendon]

I have a background thread that occasionally does something with Views,
so I have this executing using runonuithread like so:

 

bool success = false;

RunOnUiThread(() => success = ExecuteRemoteCommand(command, parameter));

 

 

I need to wait for the result from the ExecuteRemoteCommand before
continuing (it doesn't matter that this is blocking).

 

What is the best way to do that?

 

I thought of spinning a While loop like:

 

int success = 0;

RunOnUiThread(() => success = ExecuteRemoteCommand(command, parameter));

 

 

while (success ==0)

{

Thread.Sleep(1000);

}

 

....and making ExecuteRemoteCommand return <> 0 instead of true/false.

 

Is there a better way?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Martyn
