java.lang.Void vs void vs Null

android, java, null, void

Solution

You have an extra comma in your code.

myAsyncTask.execute((Void),null);
                        //^extra comma right here

Also, there is no need to cast `null` to `Void`, because (1) `Void` has no instances and thus there is no `Void` object, and (2) casting `null` to anything is rather useless because null is a valid value for any Object data type.

Code should probably just be:

myAsyncTask.execute(null);

Problem

What exactly is the difference between `Void`, `void`, and can I just use `null` instead? I'm asking this is because I'm looking at sample Android code where they used Void but Eclipse errors on it (it says `Void cannot be resolved to a variable`). My code that breaks is ``` public class MyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Boolean>{ ... } ``` I use it like this ``` MyAsyncTask myAsyncTask = new MyAsyncTask(); myAsyncTask.execute((Void),null);//this is the line that breaks "Void cannot be resolved to a variable" ```
