Android Question Threading class property.

[lsis]

Can i use my class properties as realtime communication of gui with a threading sub of my class?
I mean global variables of my class where can i change by properties.

 

[Erel]

You do not need to use the threading library. In most cases it will only complicate your code.

Hi Erel.
I need threading because i use it for backround serial communication loop.
Can i use the global variables of my class in threading loop to have I/O at runtime of thread?

 

[Erel]

Why don't you use AsyncStreams? It will handle the communication in the background.

Can i use the global variables of my class in threading loop to have I/O at runtime of thread?

In most cases yes.

 

[lsis]

For the hardware side i use AsynchStreams but for the software protocol of communication i have to use a backround loop.
Can you be more specific, what did you mean in most cases?

 

[Erel]

I recommend you to implement everything with AsyncStreams. It should be possible.

You can access primitive values. You cannot access collections for example.

 

[lsis]

I think if we want maximum power must use thread, not only for the communication part, but for most of multitasking application
Sorry but with collections you mean costum types with many variables and maybe arrays?

 

[Erel]

AsyncStreams for example uses two background threads to manage the communication. Other libraries also use background threads for all kinds of tasks.

Sorry but with collections you mean costum types with many variables and maybe arrays?

I was referring to Lists and Maps.
