AsyncTask相信從事Android開發的同學都不陌生，基本都應該用到了，和以前一樣我們還是先來看看此類的summary。AsyncTask可以確保更合理、容易的使用UI執行緒。這個類是設計用來執行一個後臺操作然後將結果釋出到UI執行緒，但卻使你不必直接操作Thread和Handler（其實內部已經為你封裝好了而已）。AsyncTask是圍繞Thread和Handler而設計的一個Helper類，它的目標並不是提供一個generic的Thread框架。AsyncTask的理想使用情況是針對比較短暫的操作（比如至多幾秒鐘的那種），所以說如果你需要Thread長時間的執行，那麼強烈建議你使用java.util.concurrent包裡提供的各種API，比如Executor、ThreadPoolExecutor和FutureTask。
    接下來我們看看AsyncTask的各個欄位，欄位比較多：

private static final int CPU_COUNT = Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors();

                    } finally {
                        scheduleNext();
                    }

            }
        }

        protected synchronized void scheduleNext() {
            if ((mActive = mTasks.poll()) != null) {
                THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR.execute(mActive);
            }
        }
    }
 

private static final int MESSAGE_POST_RESULT = 0x1;
    private static final int MESSAGE_POST_PROGRESS = 0x2;

    private static final InternalHandler sHandler = new InternalHandler();

    private static volatile Executor sDefaultExecutor = SERIAL_EXECUTOR;
    private final WorkerRunnable<Params, Result> mWorker;
    private final FutureTask<Result> mFuture;

    private volatile Status mStatus = Status.PENDING;

    private final AtomicBoolean mCancelled = new AtomicBoolean();
    private final AtomicBoolean mTaskInvoked = new AtomicBoolean();

 接下來來看一個關鍵部分，ctor程式碼如下：
