Making a way to create thread with a Java Looper for Android
We need to create a new message loop type for this as for
testing the Android UI message pump type is not the standard Java, but gets overridden to a different one that can handle nested message loops.
Using the new Java thread for the java bridge thread, so the thread used for AJI callbacks will have a prepared Looper.
