True, but that is exactly why the team writing the documentation should have kept the following related question in the forefront as they wrote it: given that such is the case, how -are- users supposed to figure out the differences in different components? Trial and error? Belated, confusing responses from Google Groups, forums and email lists? Or by suitable cross-references from the Javadoc node on AsyncTask? You can guess which one of these options is my preference;) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
