You can directly use Executors from java.util.concurrent package.
I also searched about it and I found a solution in this Android Async API is Deprecated post.
Unfortunately, the post is using Kotlin, but after a little effort I have converted it into Java. So here is the solution.
ExecutorService executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
executor.execute(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
//Background work here
handler.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
//UI Thread work here
}
});
}
});
Pretty simple right? You can simplify it little more if you are using Java 8 in your project.
ExecutorService executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
executor.execute(() -> {
//Background work here
handler.post(() -> {
//UI Thread work here
});
});
Still, it cannot defeat kotlin terms of conciseness of the code, but better than the previous java version.
Hope this will help you. Thank You
