AsyncTask's get() method: Is there any scenario where it is actually the best option?

Question

After answering this question, I got a doubt about the sense/usefulness of using the get() method of Android\'s AsyncTask class.

public final Result get ()
         


        

Answer 1

I post my own answer, as it is what I think at this moment and nobody has given it.

My curiosity is still alive, so I wont mark this one as correct. If someone answers this question brilliantly, I will mark his/her answer as correct.

My answer is that there is actually no scenario where using the AsyncTask's get() method is the best solution.

IMHO, using this method is pointless. What I mean is that there always seem to be a better solution.

Likewise, I would say it's semantically shocking, as calling it changes your AsyncTask into an effective "SyncTask".
