Hello all,

When running a thread in Android/Java:

public void run()
{
   while (running)
   {
      if (moreTasksToExec())
      {
         task = getNextTask()
         task.exec();
      }
   }
}

Is it OK to let it run and not using a semaphore to block while no work needs to be executed?

I am only using one thread, so I need no inter-thread synchronization.
