Thread management function (not a question, just an answer to my own)

Hello everyone,

I was looking for a neat way to create multi threads with Titanium. I eventually found this post http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/117199/how-to-create-multithreading-in-mobile-sdk but thought it was a bit ugly... so I created a little function that does everything for you...

Here it is

function thread(func) {
 
  var th = Ti.UI.createWindow();
 
  // Store the event function
  th.startEv = func;
  th.addEventListener('start', function() {
    th.startEv();
    th = null;
  });
  th.fireEvent('start');
 
  // To retain the thread
  return th;
}

thread(function() {
  while (true) {
    Ti.API.error("Some other thread is running without blocking the UI!");
  }
});
