title: difference between android looper and executor thread pool
body: <p>I was reading <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7597742/android-what-is-the-purpose-of-looper-and-how-to-use-it">about loopers</a> , and also on <a href="http://www.journaldev.com/1069/java-thread-pool-example-using-executors-and-threadpoolexecutor" rel="noreferrer">Executor Thread Pools</a> and they appear to be doing the exact same thing... or am I missing something ?</p>
