When to shutdown executorservice in android application

Question

Lets assume I\'m planning to use one executorservice in my entire application, to which I\'m sending new runnable\'s or callable\'s to execute/submit, and I ommit to shutdown ri

Answer 1

You can do one work around. Create the executor as daemon. Then it will automatically end when your application exits. You don't have to explicitly call the shutdown.

 ExecutorService es = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor( new ThreadFactory() {
    @Override
    public Thread newThread(Runnable r) {
        Thread t = new Thread(r);
        t.setDaemon(true);
        return t;
    }
});
