One of the defining features of the Java environment is its built-in support for threads. Threads let an application perform multiple activities simultaneously. When used properly, threads let the application's user interface remain responsive while it performs lengthy operations like network communication or very complicated computations. While user interface responsiveness is important no matter what the platform, it's even more so on the handheld and consumer-oriented devices that the J2ME platform targets. A basic understanding of how to use threads is key to writing effective J2ME applications, whether you're using the more limited facilities of the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) or the fuller features of the Connected Device Configuration (CDC). This paper explains the concepts behind threads and how you can use them in your own applications.
