Xamarin.Android中的后台执行

Question

I want to execute some code in background in my Xamarin.Android app. For example, make a HTTP request and do some actions on server side, get a response and update UI.

So, should I really use Android specific components like AsyncTask , IntentService , etc for that? Can I just run my code in Task.Run ? Are there useful methods in C#/Mono to achieve my purpose?

Answer 1

You should use the C# model of asynchronous programming , it is used extensively in most Xamarin applications. Basically, your methods return "async Task" objects, which you can then "await" without blocking the UI thread.

EDIT

I also found some related information specific to Xamarin .
