Solution 1 :
Official statement by Google:
AsyncTask was intended to enable proper and easy use of the UI thread.
However, the most common use case was for integrating into UI, and
that would cause Context leaks, missed callbacks, or crashes on
configuration changes. It also has inconsistent behavior on different
versions of the platform, swallows exceptions from doInBackground, and
does not provide much utility over using Executors directly.
This class was deprecated in API level R.
And if briefly about the difference between these classes AsyncTaskLoader prevents duplication of background threads and eliminate duplication of destroyed activities.
Problem :
I have used Android AsyncTask and the AsyncTaskLoader. I want to know the reason why in some apps we use AsyncTask and in some we use AsyncTaskLoader. Is AsyncTask useless and we can use AsyncTaskLoader everywher? If yes then why? Please help me understand. Thank you.

async task is/will be deprecated soon, so to answer your question of where you should use it – you probably shouldn’t be using it.
