Thanks for the fast answers! Unfortunately I found out, that I can't use AsyncTask for my task anyway...
The get() method seems to provide a neat way to pseudo-join the AsyncTask and the main UI-thread - I found it yesterday evening, too, and played around with it a little bit. The only problem is, that if you use it in the main thread, it will wait for the result of doInBackground and execute all the onProgressUpdate stuff *after* doInBackground has finished - this destroys all parallelism you intended to create using the AsyncTask wrapper. That's the reason why I can't use AsyncTask and in fact threads in general for my purposes because join() would do the same thing... Regards, Sven PS.: @Streets of Boston: I've tried your idea of writing setter/getter methods for the AsyncTask - background thread and it works! The only problem is, that when I try to join the main and the AsyncTask thread I get a deadlock as the main thread waits for the background thread to die, but it seems, that it dies *after* the last onProgressUpdated() was executed which is a task of the (now waiting!!!) main thread. But nevertheless I'm happy to have gained access to the background thread - maybe I can use this in another context.
