Please Help! Code Challenge!

The instructions are:"Add the 'onPostExecute()' method to the AsyncTask below. Make it 'protected void' and remember that the parameter is related to the return type of 'doInBackground()'."

what I have put down so far is"

import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class CustomActivity extends Activity {

    public String mStatus;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_custom);
        CustomAsyncTask task = new CustomAsyncTask();
        task.execute();
    }

    protected void updateStatusLabel() {
        super.updateStatusLabel();
    }

    protected class CustomAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, String> {   
        @Override
    @Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
// Imagine this is some code to do some work
            =   result;
        }


    }
}

Please could anyone help me solve this problem?

The answer is:

import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class CustomActivity extends Activity {

    public String mStatus;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_custom);
        CustomAsyncTask task = new CustomAsyncTask();
        task.execute();
    }

    protected void updateStatusLabel() {
        super.updateStatusLabel();
    }

    protected class CustomAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, String> {   
        @Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {

// Imagine this is some code to do some work
            mStatus =   result;
        }


    }
}
