Just don't have it tied to a specific activity instance. If you want to have it associated logically with the activity, you can use onRetainNonInstanceState() to transfer it between instances. (Though this is intended as an optimization, and if you rely on this then you likely won't get the proper semantics in other cases -- for example if the user leaves your app and returns to it later it could easily get killed while in the background and thus lose the active download. In fact you would also have this same problem if you use android:configChanges for many of the same reasons.) -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
