title: UI Thread gets stuck even though I'm working on another
body: <p>I have this code that on a click of a button a service will be started from a new thread and the service will start my TCP Client.</p>
  
  <p>The TCP client, once connected will send a count down event to inform the fragment to continue working.</p>
  
  <p>the code looks like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>   connectButton = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.connectBT);
          connectButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
              @Override
              public void onClick(View view) {
  
  
  
                  new Thread(new Runnable() {
                      @Override
                      public void run() {
                          try {
  
                              // ***** IntentService Way ****** //
                              Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), NetworkService.class);
                              getActivity().startService(intent);
  
                              // Once client is connected, give the server some info about client
                              mCountDown.await(3000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
  
                              String json = jsonMaker.toJson(new DeviceInfo());
                              DispatchToServer(json);
                          } catch (Exception ie) {
                              ie.getMessage();
                          }
                      }
                  }).run();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when I click connect, my UI still freezes for some reason, even though I'm waiting on a different thread then the UI thread. Same code worked fine when I used an AsyncTask instead of the service.</p>
