return value from Async task in android



one simple question:





is it possible to return a variable in Async task?







//my async task is in outer class



private class myTask extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>{

//initiate vars

public myTask() {

super();



//my params here

}

protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {



//do stuff

return null;

}



@Override

protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {

//do stuff

//here! how to return a value???

}

}



// i execute it from my activity

// codes below are from different class than the async task

myTask.execute()

myvalue = myTask.getvalue() //something like this????

  1. Why not call a method that handles the value?

    public class MyClass extends Activity{


    private class myTask extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>{
    //initiate vars
    public myTask() {
    super();

    //my params here
    }
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {

    //do stuff
    return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
    //do stuff
    myMethod(myValue);
    }
    }


    private myHandledValueType myMethod(Value myValue){
    //handle value
    return myHandledValueType;
    }
    }

  2. That's what onPostExecute() is for. It runs on the UI thread and you can deliver your result from there to the screen (or anywhere else you need). It won't be called until the final result is available. If you want to deliver intermediate results, take a look at onProgressUpdate()

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
