Suggested Answer: CD 🗳️
C: If everything is happening in the UI thread, performing long operations such as network access or database queries will block the whole UI. When the thread is blocked, no events can be dispatched, including drawing events. From the user's perspective, the application appears to hang. Even worse, if the UI thread is blocked for more than a few seconds (about 5 seconds currently) the user is presented with the infamous "application not responding" (ANR) dialog.
D: The Andoid UI toolkit is not thread-safe. So, you must not manipulate your UI from a worker threadyou must do all manipulation to your user interface from the UI thread.
