I have created an app in android. Now I want to create a web version using PlayN. What I want is to replace all the android specific code to normal java code. In android version I use Async task. What can I use instead of this?

Here is a AsynTask file which you might use it as a Java code https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core/java/android/os/AsyncTask.java – Vinayak Bevinakatti Feb 24 '12 at 12:07

Vinayak, You mean I have to pull the class from there and use it in my code? – Rockcollins Feb 24 '12 at 12:21

Async Task is nothing but just a separate thread.You can create your on thread and add the code which you written in doInBackground(Void... params) in the thread's run() method.

Dhavai what about onPreExecute and onPostExecute ? And I need to update UI too. – Rockcollins Feb 24 '12 at 12:15

This thing is done by your main thread which call childthread.start() method. – Dhaval Feb 24 '12 at 12:23

1and see the Thread.Join() function. By this function u can block your main thread till the childthread is complete its work. And after join() write your onPostExecute () code. – Dhaval Feb 24 '12 at 12:26

You can download the Android Source and copy the AsyncTask source to your project. Its does not have dependency of Android.
You can find AsyncTask.java here
