如何使异步方法返回布尔值？

Question

I have the following method:

     public static boolean getIsUp()
     {
         String method = "isup.php";
         AsyncHttpResponseHandler response = new AsyncHttpResponseHandler(){

         @Override
             public void onSuccess(String content) {
            if(Integer.parseInt(content) == IS_UP_CONTENT)
                //code to return true
            else
                //code to return false
        }

     };
     get(method, null, response);
 }

How would you fill the //code to return true and //code to return false so that the method return the appropriate response? Is that even possible?

Answer 1

I think you should not use an AsyncHttpResponseHandler inside a non-async method if you want to instantly return an result.

What you can do is using an AsyncTask and the onPostExecute Callback

This class allows to perform background operations and publish results on the UI thread without having to manipulate threads and/or handlers.
