BackgroundTask is an easiest way to execute code in the background thread without memory leaks on Android.
###Usage### BackgroundTask must be subclassed to be used. The subclass will override constructor and doInBackground() method.
private static class DownloadTask extends BackgroundTask<String> {
private final String mUrl;
public DownloadTask(TaskCompleteListener<String> strongListener, String url) {
super(strongListener);
mUrl = url;
}
@Override
public String doInBackground() throws Throwable {
return FakeDownloader.download(mUrl);
}
}Results handling:
private TaskCompleteListener<String> mListener = new TaskCompleteListener<String>() { //strong reference!
@Override
public void onSuccess(String data) {
//do something
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable error) {
//oops! You must handle this error.
}
};Task execution:
new DownloadTask(mListener, URL).start();
