I will repeat what the others said, but will just try to make it simpler...
First, just create the Interface class
public interface PostTaskListener<K> {
// K is the type of the result object of the async task
void onPostTask(K result);
}
Second, create the AsyncTask (which can be an inner static class of your activity or fragment) that uses the Interface, by including a concrete class. In the example, the PostTaskListener is parameterized with String, which means it expects a String class as a result of the async task.
public static class LoadData extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {
private PostTaskListener<String> postTaskListener;
protected LoadData(PostTaskListener<String> postTaskListener){
this.postTaskListener = postTaskListener;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
if (result != null && postTaskListener != null)
postTaskListener.onPostTask(result);
}
}
Finally, the part where your combine your logic. In your activity / fragment, create the PostTaskListener and pass it to the async task. Here is an example:
...
PostTaskListener<String> postTaskListener = new PostTaskListener<String>() {
@Override
public void onPostTask(String result) {
//Your post execution task code
}
}
// Create the async task and pass it the post task listener.
new LoadData(postTaskListener);
Done!
