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

You can use it in your AutoCompleteTextView's adapter's filter.

private class Adapter extends BaseAdapter implements Filterable{
    getFilter(){
        return new Filter() {
        @Override
        protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
            List suggestions = MyApiSuggestionsApi(constraint).get();
            return packageAsFilterResults(suggestions);
        }
    }
}
