💡 Android Development Tip: When to Use Service vs Thread 💡 Understanding when to use Service and Thread in Android can enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of your app. Here’s a quick guide. Service: Ideal for long-running operations that need to continue even if the user is not interacting with the app. Examples include playing music, downloading files, or tracking location. Thread: Best for short-lived, background tasks that do not require ongoing updates and are tied to the lifecycle of an activity or fragment. Examples include fetching data from a network or processing images. Choosing the right tool ensures smooth performance and a better user experience.
