WHy my emulator blocks even when I use thread?

[phpuser123]

I am trying some thread tuts in J2me and camee across this code on the Net. Whan I run it, the emulator blocks... What is the use of the thread when the application still blocks...And How do I make this work?

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.microedition.lcdui.Command; import javax.microedition.lcdui.CommandListener; import javax.microedition.lcdui.Display; import javax.microedition.lcdui.Displayable; import javax.microedition.lcdui.Form; import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet;

public class J2MEBackgroundProcessing extends MIDlet implements CommandListener { private Display display;

private Form form= new Form("Background Processing");

private Command exit = new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 1);

private Command start = new Command("Start", Command.SCREEN, 2);

public J2MEBackgroundProcessing() { display = Display.getDisplay(this); form.addCommand(exit); form.addCommand(start); form.setCommandListener(this); }

public void startApp() { display.setCurrent(form); }

public void pauseApp() { }

public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) { }

public void commandAction(Command command, Displayable displayable) { if (command == exit) { destroyApp(false); notifyDestroyed(); } else if (command == start) { Process process = new Process(this); process.start(); } } }

class Process implements Runnable { private BackgroundProcessing MIDlet;

public Process(BackgroundProcessing MIDlet) { this.MIDlet = MIDlet; }

public void run() { try { transmit(); } catch (Exception error) { System.err.println(error.toString()); } }

public void start() { Thread thread = new Thread(this); try { thread.start(); } catch (Exception error) { } }

private void transmit() throws IOException { } }

[Sean Pedersen]

            Process process = new Process(this);
            process.start();

should be

new Thread(new Process(this)).start();

Then sort out the class functions to branch from run().
