- You create a {@link android.support.v4.content.CursorLoader} within a
- <b>loader framework</b>. To set up the framework, you implement the
- {@link android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks LoaderCallbacks&lt;Cursor&gt;}
- as part of an {@link android.app.Activity}. In addition, to provide compatibility
- compatible with platform versions starting with Android 1.6, you must extend the
- {@link android.app.Activity} with the {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity} class.
-</p>
-<p class="note">
- <strong>Note:</strong> A {@link android.support.v4.app.Fragment} is not a prerequisite for
- {@link android.support.v4.content.CursorLoader}. As a convenience, the support library class
- {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity} contains the fragment and the loader frameworks,
- but they are completely independent of each other.
-</p>
-<p>
- Before you can use the loader framework, you need to initialize it. To do this, retrieve
- a {@link android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager} object and call its
- {@link android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager#initLoader initLoader()} method.
-</p>
-<p>
- If you do use one or more {@link android.support.v4.app.Fragment} objects in an
- {@link android.app.Activity}, the {@link android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager} you retrieve is
- available to all of them.
-</p>
-<h2 id="AddExtensions">Extend an Activity</h2>
-<p>
- To set up an {@link android.app.Activity} subclass to contain a
- {@link android.support.v4.content.CursorLoader}, extend the subclass with
- must extend {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity}, which provides the loader
- framework, and implement the {@link android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks
- LoaderCallbacks&lt;Cursor&gt;} interface, which specifies method signatures that the loader
- framework uses to interact with the {@link android.app.Activity}.
-</p>
-<p>
- For example:
-</p>
-<pre>
-public class DisplayActivity extends FragmentActivity
- implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks&lt;Cursor&gt;
-</pre>
-<h2 id="GetLoader">Retrieve a LoaderManager</h2>
-<p>
- To get an instance {@link android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager} for use in your
- {@link android.app.Activity}, call
- {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity#getSupportLoaderManager
- FragmentActivity.getSupportLoaderManager()} at the beginning of the
- {@link android.app.Activity#onCreate onCreate()} method. For example:
-</p>
-<pre>
-private LoaderManager mLoaderManager;
-public void onCreate() {
-...
-mLoaderManager = this.getSupportLoaderManager();
-</pre>
-<h2 id="InitializeLoader">Initialize the Loader Framework</h2>
-<p>
- Once you have the {@link android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager} object, initialize
- it by calling {@link android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager#initLoader initLoader()}. For
- example:
-</p>
-<pre>
-// CursorLoader instance identifier
-public static final int URL_LOADER = 0;
-...
-// Initializes the CursorLoader
-getSupportLoaderManager().initLoader(URL_LOADER, null, this);
-</pre>
