ThreadPoster

A small library implementing a convenient API for sending work to a thread and returning the result to the UI.

Under the hood, it uses standard Java multithreading features such as ThreadPool and Handler.

To start working, you need to do the following:

1. Create a global instance of the ThreadPoster class, for example in the Application class.

For Kotlin:

class App : Application() {
    companion object {
        val threadPoster: ThreadPoster = ThreadPoster()
    }
}

For Java:

public class App extends Application {
    private final static ThreadPoster threadPoster = new ThreadPoster();

    public static ThreadPoster() {
        return threadPoster;
    }
}

2. To pass a Runnable object for execution to a background thread, you need to call the ThreadPoster.postToBackground(Runnable) method.

For Kotlin:

threadPoster.postToBackground { /* Your code */ }

For Java:

threadPoster.postToBackground(() ->{ /* Your code */ });

3. To return the execution result to the UI thread, you need to call the ThreadPoster.postToUI(Runnable) method.

For Kotlin:

threadPoster.postToUI { /* Your code */ }

For Java:

threadPoster.postToUI(() ->{ /* Your code */ });
