[android help] Is it OK to use `scala.actors.Actor` object in an Android application?

I know that it works, just checked. I'm wondering about the system not being able to free memory or the application "hanging" in the background or such things. import scala.actors.Actor import android.util.Log object Player extends Actor { start def act { loop { react { case x => Log.v("actor", "received: " + x) } } } } Actors are so much more graspable than concurrency using regular threads. I guess scala.actors is build upon JVM threads, so maybe it's as legal as using normal threads in your app? asked 1 hour ago

	You shouldn't be using native scala actors, as they're deprecated. But you can run AKKA on Android. You can see this thread for more information and sample code: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/akka-user/1W41nAONv90 answered 8 mins ago
