Running Extractdecodeeditencodemuxtest Outside Of Testcase On Android

I am trying to add functionality to extract, decode, edit, encode and mux a video on Android. Therefore, I found some very useful implementation, which is part of the Android CTS E

Solution 1:

morelikely you need to run it in separate thread

publicstaticvoidrunTest(ExtractDecodeEditEncodeMuxTest test)throws Throwable {
        test.setOutputFile();
        TestWrapperwrapper=newTestWrapper(test);
        Threadth=newThread(wrapper, "codec test");
        th.start();
        th.join();
        if (wrapper.mThrowable != null) {
            throw wrapper.mThrowable;
        }
    }

Solution 2:

Thank's to fadden, I was able to resolve this issue. I am using an intent service now and start a thread without looper there, which works fine.

For running the code in an Android service, this means that the wrapping thread has to be started from a custom thread. Starting a thread within a thread is probably not the very best solution, but it actually solves the problem.
