Threads for Android

Question

I heard in android there are two ways to do async tasks. one of these is the normal threads. But I'd like know what is the other way. thanks.

Answer 1

The other way is something called Async Tasks. AsyncTask enables proper and easy use of the UI thread. This class allows you to perform background operations and publish results on the UI thread without having to manipulate threads and/or handlers.

android.os.AsyncTask<Params, Progress, Result>
