Splash and downloading data

I have a splash activity, and this activity downloads some XMLs from the internet. All is fine, but the problem is that when the connection is too slow, the OS thinks that the app is unresponsive, and ask to terminate or wait.

How can I prevent this? Or there is a better practice for this kind of things?

You're probably downloading the XMLs in the UI thread. Don't. Use AsyncTasks instead.

Put your Download process in a thread or AsyncTask and leave the main UI thread free then OS will not give you the ANR(Application Not Responding) Dialog Box
