Method Detail

canBorrowThread

boolean canBorrowThread(java.lang.Thread thread)

Caller guarantees that thread is a typical utility 'worker' thread (in contrast to, for example, the dedicated UI thread, or other threads on which work is dispatched through a Handler). Answer whether we are ok to dispatch here instead of one of our own worker threads. Caller must additionally assure themselves from their contextual knowledge that taking advantage of this function will not lead to deadlocks that otherwise would not occur.
