By default, all components of the same application run in the same process and thread (called the “main” thread).
Is Android multithreaded?
Main thread
When the user launches your app, Android creates a new Linux process along with an execution thread. This main thread, also known as the UI thread, is responsible for everything that happens onscreen.
Is Android service a thread?
It is neither, any more than an activity is “a process or a thread”. All components of an Android application run inside a process and by default utilize one main application thread. You can create your own threads as needed. Service is not a process nor a thread.
