I'm just looking at the definition of Thread.isDaemon. It seems like a nice feature. The deamon Thread won't stop the process from exiting.
But wait a second. Do non daemon thread stop a process from exiting in Android? I wasn't aware that any thread could stop Android from killing a process anyway. So isDaemon really has no practical meaning in Android. Am I right?
