Question

I think this is a beginner (me) question, then for you guys is easy to answer.

I have this method:

public void onQuantityTextChange(final int value)
{       
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            addProductToCart(value);

            view.post(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    updateTotals();
                }
            });

        }
    }).start();
}

My question is: this peace of code:

view.post(new Runnable() {
 public void run() {
  updateTotals();
}

is executed only when this addProductToCart(value); method is executed(finished)? or is it more safe to use AsyncTasks with doInBackground() and onPostExecute()?

Answer 1

It is always executed after: addProductToCart(value);
But if that function starts a Thread or AsyncThread or similar then the function will return before that task finishes.

To summarize: nobody can answer without the contents of addProductToCart
