Execute equivalent of SelectorOnMainThread in Java for Android

I have an iPhone app and I am porting to Android.

I have a service / controller that generates new threads to do some networking tasks.

I am using performSelectorOnMainThread

in my iPhone app. How can I get my Java application to do the same or similar?

Assuming that performSelectorOnMainThread

does what I think matters runOnUiThread()

in Activity

or post()

on Handler

or any of your Views

(i.e. GUI widgets).



Although I generally agree with alex's answer - use AsyncTask

where possible instead of deploying your own streams.
