When to use ?
|
Task with no UI, but shouldn't be too long. Use threads within service for long tasks.
|
- Long task in general.
- For tasks in parallel use Multiple threads (traditional mechanisms) |
- Long task usually with no communication to main thread.
(Update)- If communication is required, can use main thread handler or broadcast intents - When callbacks are needed (Intent triggered tasks). |
- Small task having to communicate with main thread.
- For tasks in parallel use multiple instances OR Executor |

Limitations /
Drawbacks |
May block main thread
|

- Code may become difficult to read |
- Cannot run tasks in parallel.
- Multiple intents are queued on the same worker thread. |
- one instance can only be executed once (hence cannot run in a loop)
- Must be created and executed from the Main thread |
