thanks for the answer Mark... Well the idea of the AsyncTask was to have a place where progress would be shown to a GUI element... And the onProgressUpdate() method oviously was very tempting ;) Anyhow, everything being asynchronous and thus not possible to implement within a doInBackgournd() method I will simply scrap the AsyncTask... Also get your ass to the netherlands for some training sessions ;)
