libgdx - How to access postRunnable

Question

How can we mult-thread in libgdx ?

I tried:

new Thread(new Runnable() {
   @Override
   public void run() {
      // do something important here, asynchronously to the rendering thread
      final int result = 10;
      // post a Runnable to the rendering thread that processes the result
      Gdx.app.postRunnable(new Runnable() {
         @Override
         public void run() {
            Array<Integer> results = new Array<Integer>;
            Gdx.app.log("Thread1", "Worked");
            results.add(result);
         }
      });
   }
}).start();

I have read here and it is official. But it did not tell me specifically how to access the array.

How can I access the result? through postRunnable

You could subclass Runnable and keep the array as a member in that new subclass, there is a nice explanation for that approach here https://stackoverflow.com/a/7762490/4802055

I want to access the array results. Not send data into the thread. – Fish Apr 17 '15 at 21:49
Replace Data with the array you want to pass back. – Tenfour04 Apr 18 '15 at 02:17
@Tenfour04, i want to pass information out of the thread not into the thread – Fish Apr 18 '15 at 11:55
runOnUiThread() is for andorid activities, not for libgdx. So that link is not useful for me – Fish Apr 18 '15 at 11:57

??? That linked answer does show how to pass data out of the thread back to the main thread. And you can replace runOnUIThread with Gdx.app.postRunnable. – Tenfour04 Apr 18 '15 at 13:09
