[android-developers] Re: AsyncTask why not must be created in UI thread?

2011-01-04 Thread Streets Of Boston
I found out that you can create AsyncTask instances on any thread, as
long as your code initially loads the class on the main UI thread (as
you stated in your message, Bob).

I hit upon this issue when writing JUnit tests that were testing
AsyncTask subclasses in my code. JUnit tests don't run on the main UI
thread. Creating just one dummy AsyncTask on the main UI thread before
running the tests, let my JUnit tests run fine.

 doInBackground() method runs in a separate thread.

 The reason for creating the AsyncTask instance on the UI thread is so
 that it can connect to the proper Looper and MessageQueue for that
 thread. (It does this through a single static Handler, so it will not
 work correctly if you first load the class in a different thread.
 That's unnecessarily fragile, in my opinion, but not a problem if you
 are using it as intended, as an easy way to move code off the main
 thread.)

Async tasks runs in the background automatically not on the ui thread. If
you want to call something on the ui thread you need to use RunOnUIThread or
post a message if that’s what you asking.

You need to create the AsyncTask instance on the UI thread, but the
doInBackground() method runs in a separate thread.

The reason for creating the AsyncTask instance on the UI thread is so
that it can connect to the proper Looper and MessageQueue for that
thread. (It does this through a single static Handler, so it will not
work correctly if you first load the class in a different thread.
That's unnecessarily fragile, in my opinion, but not a problem if you
