Wish Server runnable class

Don't think you'd need a new class as it's quite simple to spawn threads.

public static void playAsTask(String s){
        final String ss = s;
        Task task = new Task<Void>() {
                @Override public Void call(){
                       Player player = new Player();
                       player.play(ss);
                       return null;
                 }
        };
        new Thread(task).start();
}

Thank you, @Daestrum , but if your code was in Chinese, perhaps I would have understood it better .

I need to run a B4A class (object, of course) in its own thread (in a b4j server).

It was not the best example, I just cut/pasted from a program I wrote.
The main parts are

 Task task = new Task<Void>() {        <<< a void Task ie it returns nothing to the caller
     @Override public Void call(){
     // do what you need to here
     return null;                                     <<< even though it returns nothing you must return a null
 };
 new Thread(task).start();                     <<< this starts the thread running

Thank you for the explanation, but I can not use it for my goal, I suppose, or not? ("void" is one of the few things I know about Java )

Also, I don't know if:

1) Anywhere Software can add this kind of class
2) this class could solve this my problem.

Have you looked at Informatix' CallSubExtended? It allows you to run methods asynchronously, in another thread.

I don't think it can be useful to get what I need.

I need something like "all this code (which could be a "class") must run in its own thread". Almost as it was a project inside a project.
A "multi-room" chat could be an example. Each room should work in its own thread (and it should "communicate" with other threads, but for this I think that thread safe maps should be enough or, at least, I could write something on disk or database).


Thank you, @Roycefer

I posted this "wish" after reading this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18326090/android-run-class-on-new-thread

I don't know if it is what I need to solve but it seems to be the solution.



[P.S. after I found:

https://developer.android.com/training/multiple-threads/define-runnable.html
as I wrote in the first post.

"This lesson shows you how to implement a Runnable class, which runs the code in its Runnable.run() method on a separate thread."
