I think that you, very specifically, want to use a ContentProvider as a local cache between your UI and the network. The Cursor callbacks make it incredibly convenient to display some kind of interstitial page (maybe animation) when, at worst, there is no content at all, and to update it as soon as the network data arrives. It also makes it so that the second time that the user visits the page, they don't have to wait a second time. Instead of an AsyncTask, you'll probably want to look at using a Loader (native in Honeycomb, or by including the ACP for earlier versions).
