I never meant to imply that onComplete did the same thing as onSuccess, what I meant to state was that onComplete ALWAYS gets called last. onSuccess can always set a flag and onComplete can do the UI updates right before turning off the spinner. This is useful if you're experiencing those "asynchronicity" problems that the OP thought he had... Almost a poor mans semaphore manager.
