Use Android executor for background API calls Some Android API calls need to be made from a thread with a message queue, but to keep the UI responsive they shouldn't be made from the UI thread. This patch gives AndroidExecutor a captive thread with a message queue to execute tasks, and converts various background tasks from creating their own threads to using AndroidExecutor and IoExecutor. This allows us to upgrade the support library to 23.2.1. Fixes #332. See merge request !161
Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the Internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the Internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.
