This might be a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway.
How do you start a background thread off the UI thread without using AsyncTask or Handler or Service or any other Android-provided structure? I want to create a new Thread
to do some Bitmap processing, and given the bugs that were reported against AsyncTask, I'd like to avoid those classes. I know they are the Google-recommended way to background a task, but let's pretend I can't use them...just for fun. :)
If it's not possible, I'd like to know why. If it is, how do I do this?
