Note on threading: Clients of loaders should as a rule perform * any calls on to a Loader from the main thread of their process (that is, * the thread the Activity callbacks and other things occur on). Subclasses * of Loader (such as {@link AsyncTaskLoader}) will often perform their work * in a separate thread, but when delivering their results this too should * be done on the main thread.

* *

Subclasses generally must implement at least {@link #onStartLoading()}, * {@link #onStopLoading()}, {@link #onForceLoad()}, and {@link #onReset()}.

* *

Most implementations should not derive directly from this class, but * instead inherit from {@link AsyncTaskLoader}.
