Download queue in Android

Question

What\'s the best way to implement a download queue in Android?

I suspect there might be some platform classes that might do most of the work.

Answer 1

I would suggest looking at the java.util.concurrent package and more specifically read up on Executors

You can create an ExecutorService which would only run 'n' number of Runnable objects at a time and would automatically queue up the rest of the tasks. Once one of the threads being executed finishes execution it picks up the next Runnable object in queue for execution.
