/**
 * A loader that queries the {@link ContentResolver} and returns a {@link Cursor}.
 * This class implements the {@link Loader} protocol in a standard way for
 * querying cursors, building on {@link AsyncTaskLoader} to perform the cursor
 * query on a background thread so that it does not block the application's UI.
 * 
 * <p>A CursorLoader must be built with the full information for the query to
 * perform, either through the
 * {@link #CursorLoader(Context, Uri, String[], String, String[], String)} or
 * creating an empty instance with {@link #CursorLoader(Context)} and filling
 * in the desired paramters with {@link #setUri(Uri)}, {@link #setSelection(String)},
 * {@link #setSelectionArgs(String[])}, {@link #setSortOrder(String)},
 * and {@link #setProjection(String[])}.
