How to Stop Asynch Task?

Question

how to stop ASyncTask thread in android

I have created an app which has an synch task doing something in the background. In my OnPostExecute function I created an intent to start an activity. The App is working perfectly fine till now. Now I wanted to stop that Asynch Task when the new actvity starts. How can I do that? Please help ......

If the new activity starts in `OnPostExecute()`, then the `ASyncTask` *is already done* with the "async" part. — Geobits, Jan 24 '13 at 12:59

Do this

MyAsyncTask task = new MyAsyncTask();
task.cancel(true);

in your onStop();.

OnPostExecute() method will only be called after Completing DoInBackgroung() method. so you asynctask will finish while you are going to another Activity.

Your AsyncTask finishes after executing onPostExecute(), so you don't have to worry
