comment. I guess this is where the primary API docs of sorts will go.

I made a start, See what you think.

+ public:
+  JavaThread(const char* name);
+  virtual ~JavaThread() {}
+
+  base::MessageLoop* message_loop() const { return message_loop_.get(); }
+  void Start();
+  void Stop();
+
+  // Called from java

.. on the inner thread when it has started. Execution blocks the parent thread's
call to Start()

Done.

+  void InitializeThread(JNIEnv* env, jobject obj);
+
+  static bool RegisterBindings(JNIEnv* env);
+
+ private:
+  scoped_ptr<base::MessageLoop> message_loop_;
+  base::WaitableEvent* waitable_event_;
+  ScopedJavaGlobalRef<jobject> java_thread_;
+
+  bool started_;
+};
+
+}  // namespace android
+
+}  // namespace base
