Abstract
Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for maintain the responsiveness of a user interface to an application. In an implementation, a synchronous operation is commenced on a main thread of an application. The application monitors for a request by an additional thread to interrupt the synchronous operation in favor of an asynchronous operation. The synchronous operation is canceled in response to the request and is retried after completing the asynchronous operation.
