Answer 1

A slightly more general way to do this is to put two helper methods in a utility class like so:

class Utils {

    @SuppressLint("NewApi")
    public static > void execute(T task, P... params) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
            task.executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR, params);
        } else {
            task.execute(params);
        }
    }
}

Then you can execute tasks with Utils.execute(mytask) or Utils.execute(mytask, params) and it will take care of executing them in parallel.
