Can anyone tell me how to create a thread in Android NDK? I'm porting some C++ code from Win32 to Android, I don't know what's the NDK API corresponding to Win32 API AfxBeginThread(). Thanks!

When an application is launched in Android, it creates the primary thread of execution, referred to as the “main” thread. Most thread is liable for dispatching events to the acceptable interface widgets also as communicating with components from the Android UI toolkit.
User Interface Thread or UI-Thread in Android is a Thread element responsible for updating the layout elements of the application implicitly or explicitly. This means, to update an element or change its attributes in the application layout ie the front-end of the application, one can make use of the UI-Thread.
There're 3 types of thread: Main thread, UI thread and Worker thread. Main thread: when an application is launched, the system creates a thread of execution for the application, called main.
For example, if your app makes a network request from the main thread, your app's UI is frozen until it receives the network response. You can create additional background threads to handle long-running operations while the main thread continues to handle UI updates.
Android NDK (partially) support POSIX thread, so you can use pthread_create.
