Annotation Type WorkerThread

@Documented
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value={METHOD,CONSTRUCTOR,TYPE})
public @interface WorkerThread

Indicates that the target method will always run on a worker thread, i.e., a thread other than the UI thread. Due to thread safety concerns, methods running on a worker thread should not call UiThread methods. Conversely, UiThread methods should not call WorkerThread methods.

If the annotated element is a class, then this indicates that all of the methods in the class will be called on a worker thread.

For methods which may sometimes run on a worker thread and sometimes on the UI thread, please use the AnyThread annotation instead.
