/**
 * Abstract Loader that provides an {@link AsyncTask} to do the work.  See
 * {@link Loader} and {@link android.app.LoaderManager} for more details.
 *
 * <p>Here is an example implementation of an AsyncTaskLoader subclass that
 * loads the currently installed applications from the package manager.  This
 * implementation takes care of retrieving the application labels and sorting
 * its result set from them, monitoring for changes to the installed
 * applications, and rebuilding the list when a change in configuration requires
 * this (such as a locale change).
 *
 * {@sample development/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/LoaderCustom.java

 *
 * <p>An example implementation of a fragment that uses the above loader to show
 * the currently installed applications in a list is below.
 *
