I created a BusySpinner in BS and repeatedly called a TASK to build up a scroll-able screen.There could be a large number of entries, so I call the TASK for multiple groups.I started with a group of 200 but it looks like the spinner hangs until the TASK completes. Lowered it to a group of 20, just so the spinner would.
The spinner STOPS while running the TASK. I guess because it runs under my BS activity ?

Would creating the spinner inside of a TASK make it functional ?

You mean would the spinner keep spinning with a task. Yes.

That example might help.

The thread you call the BS Activity thread is actually the render thread. Inside a task is the worker thread. Inside the worker thread you can animate the indicator that shows in the render thread.

Sounds like you are just calling it to start and stop in the wrong spots.. I'm not sure I even fully understand the question but I have had no problems and I have tested it with over 10,000 files rendering in a task.
