Have you applied parallel data processing or multitasking in your projects?

Yes, in Android projects, I often used multitasking to improve the performance and responsiveness of the application. For example, for executing network requests or database operations, I used classes like AsyncTask (deprecated but still encountered), HandlerThread, as well as modern approaches using Coroutine in Kotlin or RxJava.

Example with Kotlin Coroutines:

import kotlinx.coroutines.*

fun fetchData() {
    GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
        val data = fetchFromNetwork() // network request in background
        withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
            updateUI(data) // update UI on the main thread
        }
    }
}

This approach allows not to block the main thread and to process data in parallel.
