title: Android: Quitting the Looper?
body: <p>I have a thread I use to periodically update the data in my Activity. I create the thread and start a looper for using a handler with <code>postDelay()</code>. In onDestroy() for my activity, I call removeCallbacks() on my handler.</p>
  
  <p>Should I then call <code>handler.getLooper().quit()</code>? Or not worry about it and let the OS deal with it? Or would it just run forever then, consuming CPU cycles?</p>
