Ok, but what happens if I need a Runnable that modifies/updates some
parts of the GUI? wouldn't this cause problems if the operation doesn't
run in the UI Thread?

Ah ok, I get it now, I thougth wrapping the TaskListener with a TaskAdapter
caused the actual task to be executed in the UI thread, since the listener is
needed for the task to run in the background. It was a bit difficult to
actually understand how Tasks work, I believe it'll be more intuitive to allow
tasks to be executed async without actually adding a listener (I don't really
use it most of the times), perhaps by adding an extra argument to the
Task#execute() method?
If you don't need the listener, you'd be better off just using a plain old
Thread. Tasks are meant to be used for asynchronous operations with a defined
result (you can think of them as asynchronous method calls).
