android smooth animation while running heavy code (theoretical)

I have a view with a ProgressBar on it that just sits and spins (smoothly).

Meanwhile I'm doing a network load via AsyncTask. When the load is done, I'm processing all the JSON data into a visual layout which takes about 1.5 seconds to do. However, during that 1.5 seconds my ProgressBar animation comes to a complete halt.

How can I make it so I can process the data, but keep my animation smooth as well?

Though it is difficult to assess without code to work with, I will give it a shot.

You could simply process the JSON and create your View inside the AsyncTask and then pass the View back to the GUI thread in onPostExecute.

This way no heavy calculations are being done on the GUI thread.
