threads, timers and sql

[anonim]

I use SQLite to store collected data such as job ID, start time, end time, locally. I need to send stored data to the server periodically on timer event a few times a day. Data should be sent via WLAN or 3G connection. I think I need to use a separate thread for sending data in order to not block the main thread where the user is entering data.
Is that possible?
Is it better to send data on the timer event in the main thread and not to use threading at all?

You can use Agraham's threading library: http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional-libraries/3314-dll-version-listings.html for this.
However using a timer is a simpler solution. Maybe it is worth starting with it and then advance to the threading solution.
There are other relevant parameters, such as the amount of data you need to send and how often do you need to send it.
