AsyncTask Android example | AsyncTask in Android

In this tutorial you will learn how to use AsyncTask in your application. This AsyncTask class perform background operations and update the results on the UI

AsyncTask has three generic type

• 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

Private class ShowDialogAsyncTask extends 
        AsyncTask<Params, Progress, Result>{....}

AsyncTask goes through 4 steps

• onPreExecute(),invoked on the UI thread immediately after the task is executed.
•  doInBackground(Paaram ...),invoked on the background thread immediately after onPreExecute() finishes executing.
• onProgressUpdate(Progress...) invoked on the UI thread after a call to publishProgress(Progress...).
•  onPostExecute(Result), invoked on the UI thread after the background computation finishes.
