@UiThread pre/post Execute

Question

With android-annotations I can replace AsyncTask<Param, Progress, Result> with @UiThread.

But is possible to handle something like onPreExcecute / onPostExecute of AsynkTask?

Answer 1

There is no callback methods to handle this. But you can have the same result by calling methods at the beginning and at the end of your @Background annotated method (you said @UIThread but I hope this was a mistake :)).

Example :

@Background
void longRunningProcess() {
    longRunningProcessStarted();
    //...
    longRunningProcessEnded();
}

@UiThread
void longRunningProcessStarted() {

}

@UiThread
void longRunningProcessEnded() {

}

We also wrote a cookbook about this.
