AsyncTask manages a thread to do it's work. According to the doc comment, it probably calls interrupt()<http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Thread.html#interrupt()>on the thread, which, according to the docs, doesn't really do much unless the thread is in an "interruptible state". If your task is chugging along, the thread won't be interrupted. So cancel(true) is fairly pointless unless your thread is sitting around waiting for something. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
