Good day, I have a class that implements the LoaderCallbacks, and hence have the unimplemented methods overriden. onCreateLoader(),onLoaderFinshed() and onLoaderReset();

in the Activity onCreate(), i prepare a loader:

getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this);

and in the onCreateLoader(), i have returned a custom loader class here which extends the SimpleLoader class by christain.

Now just wondering, if i do this somewhere in my class outside of the onCreateLoader() method:

CursorLoader loader = new cursorLoader(
this,android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null,null,null,null);
loader.loadInBackground();
//cursor = loader.loadInBackground();

Does the LoaderCallback hold a reference to it and calls onLoadFinished() or is this a different implementation altogether. what does this really mean? Thank you.

    Creating a new CursorLoader has nothing to do with the LoaderManager.

    Then the onLoadFinished() method will not be called when creating a new CursorLoader.

    What if the data changes:

    If the data monitored by the Loader changes, the Loader will requery itself. But the onLoadFinished() will not be called if this Loader hasn’t been supplied to the LoaderManager by the onCreateLoader method.

    To summarise:

    Imagine you, or some else process, modify the data you’re monitoring by a Loader.

    If this Loader has been supplied to the LoaderManager by the onCreateLoader then onLoadFinished() will be called.

    If this Loader hasn’t been supplied to the LoaderManager by the onCreateLoader then onLoadFinished() will not be called.
