Fortunatley, it's easy to turn to 'yes'. You don't need to use a
differnet set of APIs, or anything like that. You simply need to put:
setAllowsConcurrentRequestHandling(true)
in your Application constructor.

I need to clarify something to the list since a couple of people have taken my reference to APIs to mean something I didn't intend. I wasn't thinking there was more than one API, just that some methods should be avoided because they would cause problems with concurrent requests. That is, I was worried that some of the common methods I use might not be thread safe and I had not seen any warnings.


What I am hearing is that the methods are individually OK, but I could write unsafe code. As long as I don't put anything in Application or class variables I'm probably OK.

I do already use variables in Application.java and I am at the stage of wanting to make myApp run with setAllowsConcurrentRequestHandling(true), so how do you go about writing thread safe code? Admittedly I have not looked this subject up as I have only just read this post, but as I am seeking to go this way where does one start with such coding? Examples and/or docs would be appreciated

It would also seem that I don't particularly need to setAllowsConcurrentRequestHandling(true), although it might improve response times.
