Threading Example in Android [closed]

I want some simple example on thread creation and invoking of threads in android.

This is a nice tutorial:

http://android-developers.blogspot.de/2009/05/painless-threading.html

Or this for the UI thread:

http://developer.android.com/guide/faq/commontasks.html#threading

Or here a very practical one:

http://www.androidacademy.com/1-tutorials/43-hands-on/115-threading-with-android-part1

and another one about procceses and threads

http://developer.android.com/guide/components/processes-and-threads.html

One of Androids powerful feature is the AsyncTask class.

To work with it, you have to first extend it and override doInBackground(...). doInBackground automatically executes on a worker thread, and you can add some listeners on the UI Thread to get notified about status update, those functions are called: onPreExecute(), onPostExecute() and onProgressUpdate()

You can find a example here.

Refer to below post for other alternatives:

Handler vs AsyncTask vs Thread

Here is a simple threading example for Android. It's very basic but it should help you to get a perspective.

Android code - Main.java

package test12.tt;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class Test12Activity extends Activity {

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        final TextView txt1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.sm);

        new Thread(new Runnable() { 
            public void run(){        
            txt1.setText("Thread!!");
            }
        }).start();

    }    
}

Android application xml - main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <TextView  
    android:id = "@+id/sm"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:text="@string/hello"/>

</LinearLayout>
