Synchronize everything?

I have a singleton class that functions as a gateway to a real (mobile) device. I want to ensure that command sequences to the device happen in the correct order, so I've synchronized almost all methods within the class. Is there a better approach?

Don't use threads if you want sequential instead of parallel processing.

Sounds like you are waiting for a deadlock to happen.

There are areas that need parallel processing (imho). I don't want to stop monitoring alarmstates just because I'm parsing an Sms message. What I do need to do is ensure 'single' actions that in reality comprise of multiple commands are handled by the class as a single action.

Shouldn't the class in that case have methods that takes a list or an array of commands as argument?Kaj
