- Method Detail
  - isInUpdate
```
boolean isInUpdate()
```
    Check whether the current thread is the active thread executing inside a Root update.
    
    Returns:
    
    current thread is in Root update
  - isRootThread
```
boolean isRootThread()
```
    Check whether the current thread is the thread currently driving a Root implementation. This is a looser check than isInUpdate() where a Root implementation may be driven by an external context - eg. UI event thread. It will always return true when isInUpdate() returns true. This method does not return true if a thread has been returned to a pool. As a guide, it will return true if blocking the current thread would block the Root from executing.
    
    Returns:
    
    current thread is Root executing thread
  - invokeLater
```
void invokeLater(Runnable task)
```
    Execute a task on the Root thread. The task should carefully check that its state is still valid - eg. a component should check that it has not been removed from the Root hierarchy.
    
    Parameters:
    
    task - task to be executed
