When should you use Executors in Android development?

Executors in Android development are a powerful tool for managing threads and executing tasks asynchronously. You should use Executors when you want to:

• Offload long-running tasks from the main thread to prevent UI freezing.
• Manage a pool of threads to handle multiple background tasks more efficiently.
• Simplify code handling by avoiding manual thread management.
• Implement task scheduling and control execution order easily.

By using Executors, developers can ensure smoother app performance and better user experience.

Example Usage of Executors

ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(4);
        
        executorService.execute(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                // Background task execution
                Log.d("ExecutorExample", "Running in background thread");
                // Simulate long operation
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(2000);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
        
        executorService.shutdown(); // Shut down the executor when no longer needed
