also May I know what is the difference between handlerthread.getid and
handlerthread.getThreadId.
In my application this thread will be created and started everytime a
button is clicked(for sending chat message).
so I printed handlerthread.getid and handlerthread.getThreadId.
I get incremented values for handlerthread.getid whereas I always get
-1 for handlerthread.getThreadId..
thanks,
