It depends. If your table is really big, it could take time to execute the query, and possible cause a noticeable lag in your app. Also, you say that you usually query only one table, so that’s leaves the possibility of more queries on additional tables.
As a general rule, I do a lot of work like querying and downloading in background threads using AsyncTasks, as even if they do not take very long now, it gives me extra freedom later on to expand the app without extensive rewriting.
