 what is thread in android

When an application is launched in Android, it creates the primary thread of execution, referred to as the “main” thread. Most thread is liable for dispatching events to the acceptable interface widgets also as communicating with components from the Android UI toolkit. To keep your application responsive, it’s essential to avoid using the most thread to perform any operation which will find yourself keeping it blocked.

By default, all components of the same application run in the same process and thread (called the "main" thread).
