Hi All,

I'm developing an Android application. I need to download more than 50 images on each sign in. It takes more time to download. Is there any way to make it more fast. Is it better to use thread to download each image(one thread/One image). Any problem on that... ? Will it be a success ? Is there any limit to create threads?

Thanks in Advance

While dual-core smartphone does exist I would say using threads wont speed anything up. It will help you having a responsive application though. Your main problem is the users bandwidth which you can't control, depends on what they pay for and their location.

U are right, bandwidth might be a problem. I think that if use threads we can have parallel downloads. Right ?
