Where should I process query results when using CursorLoader?

Question

Where should I process query results (time consuming task) when using CursorLoader?

Answer 1

Use AsyncTask to load data from cursor and return values in onPostExcute method (uiThread), when you'll call the task multiple times cancel the the former.

Answer 2

In onCreateLoader then once the result is processed, return null or cursorloader to notify that you are done doing background task and update your ui in onLoadFinished
