3,714 PointsHi guys, Any idea what might be wrong here please?
It says method must be exactly onPostExecute and it is...
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class CustomActivity extends Activity {
public String mStatus;
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_custom);
CustomAsyncTask task = new CustomAsyncTask();
task.execute();
}
protected void updateStatusLabel() {
super.updateStatusLabel();
}
protected class CustomAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, String> {
@Override
protected String doInBackground(Object... params) {
// Imagine this is some code to do some work
return "Done!";
}
}
}

40,533 Points"onPostExecute" is a method derived from AsyncTask, so it needs to be placed inside your CustomAsyncTask class.
