<pre>

    Runnable r = ...

Kommentare:

The current Dalvik implementation seems to map Java Threads ony by one to the underlying linux system PTHREADs like you say. All Threads of all apps belong on the same thread group on the system, so every Thread competes with all Threads of all apps.

So currently Thread.setPriority should actually do the same as Process.setThreadPritority, using the smaller Java priority scale, the mapping of prioritys is defined in kNiceValues at vm/Thread.c

However, using '''Thread.setPriority()''' you are using a '''scale of 0-10''' and on '''Process.setThreadPriority()''' you are using the nice '''scale (+/- 20''').
