Should I call super.onPostExecute(result) in Android AsyncTask?

Question

I wonder if it has any meaning to call super.onPostExecute(result) or super.onPreExecute in Android AsyncTask? I have been always calling them, but even in Android documentation about AsyncTask (Android API Reference: AsyncTask) they are omitted. So does it make any sense if I call them or not?

Answer 1

No, there is no need to call the superclass. If you take a look at the AsyncTask source, you will see that the super class does nothing:

@SuppressWarnings({"UnusedDeclaration"}) protected void onPostExecute(Result result) { }
