thinr | use AsyncTask replacement - life cycle

thinr is a Java library. thinr has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Thinr is a replacement for AsyncTask. It is a tiny library that makes things like the following possible in a leak free and configuration change aware way:. While the above example is not very exciting you might be able to estimate it's value considering it's. Anything in "inBackground" will be executing on a background thread. Anything in "onMain" will be executing when - and only when - the component is in a state that is fine for accessing the component. Imagine that "inBackground" can be any time consuming blocking operation accessing the network and hitting the filesystem. It's a beautiful replacement for AsyncTask (which it internally uses) when using Java 8. You can also use it with Java 7 but Java 8 will make your experience much more exciting. Currently the official support for Java 8 is limited to using Jack (see ) but for sure the complete toolchain will support Java 8 sooner or later. Additionally RetroLambda is supported starting with version 0.1.0. If you still don't know what this will do for you have a look at other approaches making AsyncTask work (right) for you. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with AsyncTask - it just needs a lot of care to implement it in a leak and error free way. Unfortunately those implementations add a lot of boiler plate code which made a lot of developers to come up with alternative solutions (which are also not easy to understand and do it right - and most of the time the code will look just ugly, hard to understand and hard to maintain). If you ever did some non-trivial Android app you should know the pain I*m talking about.
