You're correct. AsyncTask objects are not threads. They are chunks of code that are executed in a thread. The thread on which an AsyncTask is executed is obtained from a pool of threads. A thread that is 'free' (i.e. idle/parked and not doing anything) is obtained from the pool and the AsyncTask is executed on that thread.
The pool of threads is maintained by the 'system'. You don't need to stop or interrupt them. Calling cancel() on a AsyncTask does not stop the thread. It just tries to cancel the AsyncTask, nothing more. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
