Get weather info from Yahoo! Weather RSS Feed in background thread

It's updated version of the exercise "Get weather info from Yahoo! Weather RSS Feed". In the original exercise, the Yahoo Weather is get in UI thread, "android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException" will be thrown. In order to prevent it, we can move the network related code into a Thread. And after finished, update UI inside a Runnable object passed to runOnUiThread() method.
