Android एक कठोर threading model छ जो main (UI) thread मा केन्द्रीभूत छ — जसले UI सम्हालनु पर्छ र responsive रहनु पर्छ। Threading बुझ्नु, किन काम main thread बाट सरानु पर्छ, र उपकरणहरु (coroutines, र ऐतिहासिक रुपमा threads/handlers) महत्त्वपूर्ण छ responsive apps को लागि।
The main thread rule
Android has a single MAIN (UI) thread that:
→ handles ALL UI operations (drawing, events) — UI updates MUST happen on it
→ must stay RESPONSIVE — blocking it freezes the UI; >5s blocked = ANR (App Not Responding)
TWO key rules:
1. DON'T do long/blocking work on the main thread (network, DB, heavy compute) → move it off
2. DON'T update UI from a background thread → switch back to the main thread for UI
