What does that argument really do then?
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.
The task looks like this:
while(true):
quickly_do_something()
sleep(1000)
So, it is "waiting" in a sense because of the sleep, but
maybe you mean something else by "waiting"?
Thanks,
Tobiah
