I'm not sure I understand your question. You want to start a thread inside a method?

The simplest way is:

public void myMethod() {
  new Thread().start();
}

How you might want to do something in this thread, which can be done this way:

public void myMethod() {
  new Thread(new Runnable(){
    public void run(){
      // do something here...
    }
  }).start();
}

Of course these anonymous objects can be expanded into full-fledged ones.

I'm not sure if it's a duplicate of this question, as I've not done any work on Android. But my answer on there will explain how to run a method inside a thread.
