AsyncTask

I created a tabbedlayout and i have three different fragments. however i would like to execute an async task in each of the fragments but i have failed to execute the async task within the fragment.

One of my fragments looks like this:

package...................;

imports...........;

public class TabFragmentNews extends Fragment {
    private static final String ARG_EXAMPLE = "this_is_a_constant";
    private String example_data;

    public TabFragmentNews() {
    }

    public static TabFragmentNews newInstance(String example_argmument) {
        TabFragmentNews tabFragmentNews = new TabFragmentNews();
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putString(ARG_EXAMPLE, example_argmument);
        tabFragmentNews.setArguments(args);
        return tabFragmentNews;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        example_data = getArguments().getString(ARG_EXAMPLE);
        Log.i("Fragment created with ", example_data);
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_news, container, false);
    }


        @Override
        public int getItemViewType(int position) {
            if (position == 0)
                return TYPE_HEAD;
            return TYPE_LIST;
        }
    }

<pre>    class BackgroundTask extends AsyncTask <.....>{
...................
.....................
        }


        class RecyclerViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
            ..........................
...........................
        }

}

What I have tried:

I tried executing the Backgroundtask as below: I tried doing it as it would be down in a class activity.


@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_news, container, false);

//Executing Async Task(BackgroundTask)
BackgroundTask backgroundTask = new BackgroundTask(TabFragmentNews.this);
backgroundTask.execute();
}

but the IDE(Android studio) shows me errors.

Can you please help me on how the async task is executed within the class that extends a fragment?? thanks
