Hi Erel,
There is multiple reasons why I need threading, for synchronizing data between devices using a web service, loading large files with a lot of separated data and for changing large amounts of data in my application. I have tried other solutions but due to the criteria of the project and the scale of the application, threading although maybe complicated is the best solution. I may also need threading in the future for other applications.

This is handled by OkHttpUtils2. Adding another thread will not do anything useful.

Use SQLite. The SQL library supports asynchronous access.

My recommendation is to avoid using the Threading library. It will make your application more complex and less reliable.
With that said you can use it. The error you encountered is discussed in the library forum thread.
