Question

i have a question regarding the AsyncTask class in android, and why it is giving me an error. I have defined an inner class here..

class MyTask extends AsyncTask<String,String,Integer>{


            Context context;
                ProgressDialog dialog;
                MyTask(Context c)
                {
                    this.context = c;
                }

                //@Override
                protected void onPreExecute()
                {
                     dialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
                dialog.setMessage("Scanning Ports!");
                    dialog.show();
                }
                @Override
                protected Integer doInBackground(String... params) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    for(intBeg =  intBeg; intBeg <= intEnd; intBeg++             
                    {
                        try
                        {
                        Socket s = new Socket(strMachine, intBeg);
                        isConnected += strMachine + " Is Listening On Port: " + intBeg + "\n";
                        Log.d("PORTSCAN", isConnected);
                        s.close();
                        }catch(Exception e){
                            notConnected += strMachine + " Is Not Listening On Port: " + intBeg + "\n";                         
                            //Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), e.getMessage(), 3000).show();
                            Log.d("PORTSCAN", notConnected);

                        }
                    }


                    return 1;
                }

                protected void onPostExecute(Integer... params)
                {

                }
                protected void onProgressUpdate(String... params)
                {

                }





            }

However, when the doInBackground finishes, it supposed to call onPostExecute(), which never happens. And even when i try to use the “@Override” annotation over the onPostExecute(), it gives me an error saying onPostExecute must override a superclass method. I dont get what is happening! any help? Thanks!

Answer 1

onPostExcecute(Integer result) takes a single argument (no …).

If the arguments don’t match, it will not match the super method and will therefore not override it (and be called). Generally if @Override gives you an error something is wrong with your method name/parameters (or the superclass does not have such a method).
