Callbacks

• Use UICallback to attach to ListenableFutures, whenever you want to do work on UI thread
• Use NonUICallback to attach to ListenableFutures, whenever you do not want to do work on UI thread

Events

• Use UIThreadEventHandler to attach to Event, whenever you want to do work on UI thread
• Use BackgroundEventHandler to delegate work away from UI thread - this is a single threaded executor to ensure sequence

Long running UI tasks

• Use AsyncTask when you want to do longer running work, like sorting, and need results back on the UI thread
