Wait the result of both two asnyc task

In this video we request "all users" and "user friends" by two async task.

In the callback of "all users" we called addFriendCheckmarks() method.

But if i have more than ten thousands users and thousand friends. Both of these two async task takes a long time.

It would be better to call all these async task in the same time in OnResume() method, and before the set of the check marks (getListView().setItemChecked(i, true);) , we can check if the "all users" request already returened the result.

My question is how to implement this(Async the result of two asnyc task) ? Should I set two member variable to check the return state of two async task or there are some better way to do this? Thanks

How about this solution?

boolean b1 = false; boolean b2= false;

callback1( done{ b1 = true; asyncTwoFunction(b1,b2) } )

callback2( done{ b2 = true; asyncTwoFunction(b1,b2) } )

asyncTwoFunction(b1,b2){ if(b1 && b2){ doSomeThing(); } }
