Android ima strog model niti, osredotočen na glavno nit (UI nit) — ki mora upravljati vmesnik in ostati odzivna. Razumevanje niti, zakaj se mora delo premestiti z glavne niti in orodja (coroutines in zgodovinsko threads/handlers) je pomembno za odzivne aplikacije.
Pravilo glavne niti
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
