Sometimes it takes a steady hand to rein in tasks that don’t follow the proper etiquette in a multithreaded system.  In this video excerpt from Jim Wilson’s course Android Async Programming and Services, you’ll see how the StrictMode feature allows developers to find tasks that are potentially blocking and track down where and why they get called.  In the complete course Jim also covers topics like creating cross process services, managing service lifecycles, and interacting with services.
