Method Digest on Main UI Thread

Question

I would like to compute the sha256 digest on a string. Is it safe to compute the hash on the main ui thread? Or do i have to run this in the background?

@CommonsWare The string is 12 chars. – prostock Dec 13 '17 at 00:07 — prostock, Dec 13 '17 at 00:07

I'm not completely clear why you're hashing such a short string — the hash will be significantly larger than the input — but that should be very fast. You might run some tests to confirm that, but I expect that you can do that on the main application thread without issue.
