/**
 * A {@code CountCallback} is used to run code after a {@link ParseQuery} is used to count objects
 * matching a query in a background thread.
 * 
 * The easiest way to use a {@code CountCallback} is through an anonymous inner class. Override the
 * {@code done} function to specify what the callback should do after the count is complete.
 * The {@code done} function will be run in the UI thread, while the count happens in a
 * background thread. This ensures that the UI does not freeze while the fetch happens.
 * 

 * For example, this sample code counts objects of class {@code "MyClass"}. It calls a
 * different function depending on whether the count succeeded or not.
 * 

 * 
 * ParseQuery<ParseObject> query = ParseQuery.getQuery("MyClass");
 * query.countInBackground(new CountCallback() {
 *   public void done(int count, ParseException e) {
 *     if (e == null) {
 *       objectsWereCountedSuccessfully(count);
 *     } else {
 *       objectCountingFailed();
 *     }
 *   }
 * });
