how do I choose number of threads for Executor

When creating a thread pool with Executor as in the code below how does one choose an appropriate value for nThreads? Can I ask android for the number of cores that the device has and then use that information to calculate this number? What should that number be in that case?

Executor executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(nThreads);

Yes. You can use Runtime.getRuntime.availableProcessors() to do this.
