Can anyone point me to a good threading example?

I have an application with a Splash screen. I'd like the screen to be displayed while another thread goes out and gathers data from the Internet while the UI remains responsive.

public class MyBackgroundThread extends thread
{
public MyBackGroundThread() 
{ //constructor stuff
}

public void run()
{
//do stuff here
}
}

and somewhere in your splash page code

MyBackgroundThread myThread = new MyBackgroundThread();
myThread.start();

That's pretty much the code I had. But after looking at your example, I was able to get things working. Thanks.
