The first part of the book describes the building blocks of asynchronous processing, and the second part covers Android libraries and constructs for developing fast, responsive, and well-structured apps.Understand multithreading basics in Java and on the Android platformLearn how threads communicate within and between processesUse strategies to reduce the risk of memory leaksManage the lifecycle of a basic threadRun tasks sequentially in the background with HandlerThreadUse Java’s Executor Framework to control or cancel threadsHandle background task execution with AsyncTask and IntentServiceAccess content providers with AsyncQueryHandlerUse loaders to update the UI with new data
