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.
