Right - time to deal with all these helpful answers I've been getting, but first, to save time, let me say... it's fixed! And a very simple fix it was too, which I /thought/ I'd already tried...

I had just prepared such a project when I found the answer among the answers below!

Well I had already tried onComplete and it made no difference, but I tried your suggestion nevertheless and sure enough, wherever I put the alerts in the code of the callbacks, onSuccess always emerged before onComplete. It also didn’t matter (as I assumed it wouldn't) if I put the onComplete before the onSuccess in the code.

That was the one! As I say, I thought I'd done that - or something very like it - in my numerous attempts at different solutions, but I obviously didn’t do exactly this, and it seems to work reliably every time in a suitably bulletproof fashion. So simple! It also seems to confirm that my initial suspicions were correct, and it is after all a caching issue, not to do with, er, asynchronicity (if that's a word - if not, Ive just invented it, so there). So many thanks for your time and thoughts, Richard and Phil, also ncubica and Walter for chipping in. -- Cheers...
