Handling runnables

2+ years coding for Android, and I never knew that "handler.post(runnable)" was being executed on the main thread.

Now I do. Whoops.

"Exported receiver does not require permission"

What does that mean? The English language is such a squirrelly mode of communication at times.

Does it mean "You've supplied a permission, but the receiver doesn't require it (you dolt)"?

Or does it mean "Your receiver should be demanding permission, but you're allowing every Tom, Dick, and Harry to abuse it!"

For those of you interested in Android programming, it's the second.
