26 /**
27  * A class that performs asynchronous loading of data. While Loaders are active
28  * they should monitor the source of their data and deliver new results when the contents
29  * change.  See {@link android.app.LoaderManager} for more detail.
30  *
31  * <p><b>Note on threading:</b> Clients of loaders should as a rule perform
32  * any calls on to a Loader from the main thread of their process (that is,
33  * the thread the Activity callbacks and other things occur on).  Subclasses
34  * of Loader (such as {@link AsyncTaskLoader}) will often perform their work
35  * in a separate thread, but when delivering their results this too should
36  * be done on the main thread.</p>
37  *
38  * <p>Subclasses generally must implement at least {@link #onStartLoading()},
39  * {@link #onStopLoading()}, {@link #onForceLoad()}, and {@link #onReset()}.</p>
40  *
41  * <p>Most implementations should not derive directly from this class, but
42  * instead inherit from {@link AsyncTaskLoader}.</p>
