Load the activity_thread_example.xml file for the project into the Graphical Layout tool. Right-click on the TextView component, select the Assign ID… menu option and change the ID for the view to myTextView. Next, click and drag the TextView so that it is positioned in the center of the display canvas.
Add a Button view to the user interface, positioned directly beneath the existing TextView object as illustrated in Figure 2729-1:

With the code changes complete, run the application on either a physical device or an emulator. Once the application is running, touch the Button, at which point the application will appear to freeze. It will, for example, not be possible to touch the button a second time and in some situations the operating system will, as demonstrated in Figure 2729-2, report the application as being unresponsive:
