Naming nit: should this be AndroidJavaThread? Or HandlerJavaThread?

Reason being - we're doing more than just creating a java.lang.Thread.

I don't like Android being part of the name, it is already in an android folder.
I'm changing it to JavaHandlerThread, speak up if you prefer something else :-)

Perfect!

+    final HandlerThread mThread;
+
+    private JavaThread(String name) {
+        mThread = new HandlerThread(name);
+    }
+
+    @CalledByNative
+    private static JavaThread create(String name) {
+        return new JavaThread(name);
+    }
+
+    @CalledByNative
+    private void start(final int nativeThread, final int nativeEvent) {
+        mThread.start();
+        new Handler(mThread.getLooper()).post(new Runnable() {
+            @Override
+            public void run() {
+                nativeInitializeThread(nativeThread, nativeEvent);
+            }
+        });
+    }
+
+    private native void nativeInitializeThread(int nativeJavaThread, int nativeEvent);
+}
