J2ME Mobile Network Usage - Avoid deadlock

Avoid deadlock situations while connecting to network resources from mobiles. I used to get the following warning while trying to use network resources during a j2me application development:

Warning: To avoid potential deadlock, operations that may block, such as
networking, should be performed in a different thread than the
commandAction() handler.

Here is the way to counter this problem by using a separate thread in order to connect to the network. This ensures avoidance of deadlock situations in your application. In the run method I am calling the getConn() method which connects to the network resource. The next switchDisplayable method was a business requirement to goto the next screen.

new Thread(new Runnable() {

public void run() {
try {
getConn();
switchDisplayable(null, getWaitScreenRegRoom());
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}).start();

Comment with better approaches.
