How to load data into android list fragment async? - android-fragments

Question

I have a fragment, with only a list view. I am loading the favourites from my database like below. How do I load them async? Currently I am forced to make the async method synchronised while loading the view. I would like it so the view loads, then when the results are ready they are populated so that it is faster. Its not just micro optimisation, I would like to learn how to do this properly.
public class FavoriteFragment : Fragment
{
public event EventHandler<Favorite> FavoriteSelected;
private FavoriteAdapter _lstAdapter;
private List<Favorite> _favorites;
private Repository _repo;
public override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
_repo = TinyIoCContainer.Current.Resolve<Repository>();
}
public override View OnCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
var view = inflater.Inflate(Resource.Layout.fragment_favorite, container, false);
var lstFavorites = view.FindViewById<ListView>(Resource.Id.lstFavorites);
_favorites = Task.Run(async () => await _repo.GetFavoritesAsync()).Result;
_lstAdapter = new FavoriteAdapter(Activity, _favorites);
lstFavorites.Adapter = _lstAdapter;
lstFavorites.ItemClick += (s, e) => FavoriteSelected?.Invoke(this, _favorites[e.Position]);
return view;
}

From this thread onActivityCreated(), you can use OnActivityCreated() to load your data.
public override async void OnActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
await LoadData();
}
private async Task LoadData()
{
//get data
}
