What can I use in core Java as an alternative to Async Task in Android?

Question

I created an application in android. Now I want to create a web version using PlayN. I want to replace all specific Android code with regular Java code. In the Android version, I use the Async task. What can i use instead?

Answer 1

Async Task is just a separate thread. You can create your own stream and add the code that you wrote in doInBackground (Void ... params) in the run run run () method.
