Which should I use Handler, AsyncTask or Thread?
<p>This may be a common question but I couldn't find my exact scenario. I understand that its down to developer choice in a lot of ways but I don't know enough to choose best. </p>

<p>I have my initial app splash screen which will just display a logo whilst checking the user is logged in. If their login details are already stored in a sharedPreference then I want to check those details against my online database of details for verification. Once this is all checked I'll either pass the user through to the main app screen or a registration screen. </p>

<p>So when doing this check of user details, and then verifying them. Should I do this in a separate or use a handler? I don't think AsyncTask is needed as I'm not wanting to pass any progress details back to the UI? </p>

<p>TIA </p>
