Why is CodeScanner.startPreview()/stopPreview() forced into the @MainThread? #97

This forces UI transitions (like fragment animations or loaders, you know, to show the camera is loading) to completely stop until the preview is started. This greatly damages user experience. Is there a workaround this?
