AsyncTask enables proper and easy use of the UI thread. This class allows to * perform background operations and publish results on the UI thread without * having to manipulate threads and/or handlers.
* *AsyncTask is designed to be a helper class around {@link Thread} and {@link Handler}
* and does not constitute a generic threading framework. AsyncTasks should ideally be
* used for short operations (a few seconds at the most.) If you need to keep threads
* running for long periods of time, it is highly recommended you use the various APIs
* provided by the java.util.concurrent
pacakge such as {@link Executor},
* {@link ThreadPoolExecutor} and {@link FutureTask}.
An asynchronous task is defined by a computation that runs on a background thread and
* whose result is published on the UI thread. An asynchronous task is defined by 3 generic
* types, called Params
, Progress
and Result
,
* and 4 steps, called onPreExecute
, doInBackground
,
* onProgressUpdate
and onPostExecute
.
For more information about using tasks and threads, read the * Processes and * Threads developer guide.
*AsyncTask must be subclassed to be used. The subclass will override at least * one method ({@link #doInBackground}), and most often will override a * second one ({@link #onPostExecute}.)
* *Here is an example of subclassing:
** private class DownloadFilesTask extends AsyncTask<URL, Integer, Long> { * protected Long doInBackground(URL... urls) { * int count = urls.length; * long totalSize = 0; * for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) { * totalSize += Downloader.downloadFile(urls[i]); * publishProgress((int) ((i / (float) count) * 100)); * // Escape early if cancel() is called * if (isCancelled()) break; * } * return totalSize; * } * * protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... progress) { * setProgressPercent(progress[0]); * } * * protected void onPostExecute(Long result) { * showDialog("Downloaded " + result + " bytes"); * } * } ** *
Once created, a task is executed very simply:
** new DownloadFilesTask().execute(url1, url2, url3); ** *
The three types used by an asynchronous task are the following:
*Params
, the type of the parameters sent to the task upon
* execution.Progress
, the type of the progress units published during
* the background computation.Result
, the type of the result of the background
* computation.Not all types are always used by an asynchronous task. To mark a type as unused, * simply use the type {@link Void}:
** private class MyTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> { ... } ** *
When an asynchronous task is executed, the task goes through 4 steps:
*A task can be cancelled at any time by invoking {@link #cancel(boolean)}. Invoking * this method will cause subsequent calls to {@link #isCancelled()} to return true. * After invoking this method, {@link #onCancelled(Object)}, instead of * {@link #onPostExecute(Object)} will be invoked after {@link #doInBackground(Object[])} * returns. To ensure that a task is cancelled as quickly as possible, you should always * check the return value of {@link #isCancelled()} periodically from * {@link #doInBackground(Object[])}, if possible (inside a loop for instance.)
* *There are a few threading rules that must be followed for this class to * work properly:
*AsyncTask guarantees that all callback calls are synchronized in such a way that the following * operations are safe without explicit synchronizations.
*When first introduced, AsyncTasks were executed serially on a single background * thread. Starting with {@link android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#DONUT}, this was changed * to a pool of threads allowing multiple tasks to operate in parallel. Starting with * {@link android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#HONEYCOMB}, tasks are executed on a single * thread to avoid common application errors caused by parallel execution.
*If you truly want parallel execution, you can invoke * {@link #executeOnExecutor(java.util.concurrent.Executor, Object[])} with * {@link #THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR}.

public final AsyncTask This method is typically used with {@link #THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR} to
* allow multiple tasks to run in parallel on a pool of threads managed by
* AsyncTask, however you can also use your own {@link Executor} for custom
* behavior.
*
* Warning: Allowing multiple tasks to run in parallel from
* a thread pool is generally not what one wants, because the order
* of their operation is not defined. For example, if these tasks are used
* to modify any state in common (such as writing a file due to a button click),
* there are no guarantees on the order of the modifications.
* Without careful work it is possible in rare cases for the newer version
* of the data to be over-written by an older one, leading to obscure data
* loss and stability issues. Such changes are best
* executed in serial; to guarantee such work is serialized regardless of
* platform version you can use this function with {@link #SERIAL_EXECUTOR}.
