Multithread

Contents
● Main thread
● Worker thread
● Some multithread methods
Main thread
● Independent path of execution in a running program
● Code is executed line by line
● App runs on Java thread called "main" or "UI thread"
● Draws UI on the screen
● Responds to user actions by handling UI events
Main thread
● Hardware updates screen every 16 milliseconds
● UI thread has 16 ms to do all its work
● If it takes too long, app stutters or hangs

Worker thread
Worker threads do:
● Network operations
● Long calculations
● Downloading/uploading files
● Processing images
● Loading data
Two rules for Android threads

● Do not block the UI thread


○ Complete all work in less than 16 ms for each screen
○ Run slow non-UI work on a non-UI thread
● Do not access the Android UI toolkit from outside
the UI thread
○ Do UI work only on the UI thread

Some methods to create worker thread and update UI

● Using thread and runOnUiThread method: used to execute a


piece of code on the main thread, also known as the UI
thread

● Using Executor: Provides a flexible and robust way to


handle background tasks, especially
with ExecutorService and Handler for updating the UI.
Using thread and runOnUiThread method
//TODO: Prepare some works
Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
//TODO: do some long task
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
//TODO: update UI here
}
});
}
});

Using Executor
// 1. Create an Executor
ExecutorService executorService = [Link]();

// 2. Create a Handler to post results back to the UI thread


Handler handler = new Handler([Link]());

// 3. Execute the task using Executor


[Link](new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// Background task
String result = "Kết quả từ Executor";

// Post the result back to the UI thread


[Link](new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() { // Update UI
[Link](result);
}
});
}
});
Classwork
● Using runOnUiThead or Executor to download 1 image from Url into
an ImageView
Code to load an image from url
● URL url = new URL(str);
HttpsURLConnection connection = (HttpsURLConnection)
[Link]();
[Link](true);
[Link]();

InputStream inputstream = [Link]();


BufferedInputStream buffer = new BufferedInputStream(inputstream);

Bitmap bitmap = [Link](buffer);


return bitmap;
