Android - best practice approach for refreshing page data at a certain interval?
<p>I have a page that goes out to the database and gets the latest data.  The problem is that multiple users can access that data. So if someone adds to the data, the current screen does not update, and the user is confused.</p>

<p>What is the best way to keep refreshing the data on the page for the user? Should I send a call to the server every 30 seconds or so to get the latest? If that is the only approach, do I have to make a new thread for that? How is that best accomplished?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
