Example: start async task android

        // Because we implement OnClickListener, we only
        // have to pass "this" (much easier)
        btn.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override

            // You might want to change "executed" for the returned string
            // passed into onPostExecute(), but that is up to you
        }
    }
