AndroidAsync

Replacement for deprecated AsyncTask. This repository contains one simple implementation with just basic functionality (AsyncTask) and one which is slowly being extended to fully replace the original AsyncTask (AdvancedAsyncTask).

Adding this to my project

Create/Open Android Studio project
Drop the async folder to your package file in the java folder

Using new AsyncTask:

Create custom task extending AsyncTask (similar to the old one)

public class ExampleTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        //Do something before doInBackground() on UI thread
    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String s) throws Exception {
        //Does some work on background thread
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
        //Do something after doInBackground() on UI thread
    }

    @Override
    protected void onBackgroundError(Exception e) {
        //Handle any exception that occured while running doInBackground()
        //This is also executed on the UI thread
    }
}

Execute your task

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        ExampleTask exampleTask = new ExampleTask();
        exampleTask.execute("Something");
    }
}

Implement cancel() (Optional)

public class ExampleTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
    ...

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String s) throws Exception {
        while (true) {
            if (isCancelled()) {
                onCancelled(); //Triggers OnCancelledListener, which can be set with setOnCancelledListener()
                break;
            }
        }
    
        return null;
    }
    
    ...
}

Implement postProgress() (Optional)

public class ExampleTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
    ...

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String s) throws Exception {
        Integer progress = 0;
        while (true) {
            progress++;
            postProgress(progress);  //Triggers OnProgressListener, which can be set with setOnProgressListener()
        }
    
        return null;
    }
    
    ...
}
