31 /**
32  * <p>AsyncTask enables proper and easy use of the UI thread. This class allows to
33  * perform background operations and publish results on the UI thread without
34  * having to manipulate threads and/or handlers.</p>
35  *
36  * <p>An asynchronous task is defined by a computation that runs on a background thread and
37  * whose result is published on the UI thread. An asynchronous task is defined by 3 generic
38  * types, called <code>Params</code>, <code>Progress</code> and <code>Result</code>,
39  * and 4 steps, called <code>begin</code>, <code>doInBackground</code>,
40  * <code>processProgress</code> and <code>end</code>.</p>
41  *
42  * <h2>Usage</h2>
43  * <p>AsyncTask must be subclassed to be used. The subclass will override at least
44  * one method ({@link #doInBackground}), and most often will override a
45  * second one ({@link #onPostExecute}.)</p>
46  *
47  * <p>Here is an example of subclassing:</p>
48  * <pre class="prettyprint">
49  * private class DownloadFilesTask extends AsyncTask&lt;URL, Integer, Long&gt; {
50  *     protected Long doInBackground(URL... urls) {
51  *         int count = urls.length;
52  *         long totalSize = 0;
53  *         for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
54  *             totalSize += Downloader.downloadFile(urls[i]);
55  *             publishProgress((int) ((i / (float) count) * 100));
56  *         }
57  *         return totalSize;
58  *     }
59  *
60  *     protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... progress) {
61  *         setProgressPercent(progress[0]);
62  *     }
63  *
64  *     protected void onPostExecute(Long result) {
65  *         showDialog("Downloaded " + result + " bytes");
66  *     }
67  * }
68  * </pre>
69  *
70  * <p>Once created, a task is executed very simply:</p>
71  * <pre class="prettyprint">
72  * new DownloadFilesTask().execute(url1, url2, url3);
73  * </pre>
74  *
75  * <h2>AsyncTask's generic types</h2>
76  * <p>The three types used by an asynchronous task are the following:</p>
77  * <ol>
78  *     <li><code>Params</code>, the type of the parameters sent to the task upon
79  *     execution.</li>
80  *     <li><code>Progress</code>, the type of the progress units published during
81  *     the background computation.</li>
82  *     <li><code>Result</code>, the type of the result of the background
83  *     computation.</li>
84  * </ol>
85  * <p>Not all types are always used by am asynchronous task. To mark a type as unused,
86  * simply use the type {@link Void}:</p>
87  * <pre>
88  * private class MyTask extends AsyncTask&lt;Void, Void, Void&gt; { ... }
89  * </pre>
90  *
91  * <h2>The 4 steps</h2>
92  * <p>When an asynchronous task is executed, the task goes through 4 steps:</p>
93  * <ol>
94  *     <li>{@link #onPreExecute()}, invoked on the UI thread immediately after the task
95  *     is executed. This step is normally used to setup the task, for instance by
96  *     showing a progress bar in the user interface.</li>
97  *     <li>{@link #doInBackground}, invoked on the background thread
98  *     immediately after {@link #onPreExecute()} finishes executing. This step is used
99  *     to perform background computation that can take a long time. The parameters
100  *     of the asynchronous task are passed to this step. The result of the computation must
101  *     be returned by this step and will be passed back to the last step. This step
102  *     can also use {@link #publishProgress} to publish one or more units
103  *     of progress. These values are published on the UI thread, in the
104  *     {@link #onProgressUpdate} step.</li>
105  *     <li>{@link #onProgressUpdate}, invoked on the UI thread after a
106  *     call to {@link #publishProgress}. The timing of the execution is
107  *     undefined. This method is used to display any form of progress in the user
108  *     interface while the background computation is still executing. For instance,
109  *     it can be used to animate a progress bar or show logs in a text field.</li>
110  *     <li>{@link #onPostExecute}, invoked on the UI thread after the background
111  *     computation finishes. The result of the background computation is passed to
112  *     this step as a parameter.</li>
113  * </ol>
114  *
115  * <h2>Threading rules</h2>
116  * <p>There are a few threading rules that must be followed for this class to
117  * work properly:</p>
118  * <ul>
119  *     <li>The task instance must be created on the UI thread.</li>
120  *     <li>{@link #execute} must be invoked on the UI thread.</li>
121  *     <li>Do not call {@link #onPreExecute()}, {@link #onPostExecute},
122  *     {@link #doInBackground}, {@link #onProgressUpdate} manually.</li>
123  *     <li>The task can be executed only once (an exception will be thrown if
124  *     a second execution is attempted.)</li>
125  * </ul>
