I am not sure if this is exactly what you are asking but here it goes.
You could try implementing runnable and have the images load there so you can
do other things while this happens (you could also create a totaly different
thread if you already implement runnable).
in your run routine you could
try
monitor.waitForAll();
catch(InterruptedException E)
{
//put error code here
}
this should load the images in its own thread.
BTW I am assuming that monitor is an instance of MediaTracker.
If this is unclear please feel free to email me directly
