Android need help in how to design a net work card reading game
I am trying to port a card reading game from iPhone to android.
There is a server that sends 4 states to ui,
Waiting for more players
Shuffle board
Turn card over
Display Your card
Display players card

I was planning on having a back ground thread that would pull the server every second for a update.

At first I was going to have the thread display a different activity for each state, but.....
How could I switch activities from a thread? I was all so thinking about having one activity and dynamically change the display depending on the state, but this seems to complicated.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to do this?
