my question for IOS only
i need to start new thread ( background ) have nothing with UI or start background service while application is running in IOS how ?
I've tried Ti.worker but its not background thread its foreground thread .
the reason i need this request i dealing with Ti.Contacts.getAllPeople() , and some phones has over 5K contacts and when i loop over 5K contacts the UI got lagged and stop working until loop is complete .
is there anyway to loop Ti.Contacts.getAllPeople() as pagenation or in background or thread when app is running ?
I think you can use web workers like suggested here: http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/117199/how-to-create-multithreading-in-mobile-sdk#answer-257976
