[android-developers] Re: AsyncTask and screen rotation

2010-09-12 Thread Eric Mill
Why wouldn't that work if it's a non-static inner class? Dave's solution is basically what I do, with the AsyncTask being a private (non-static) inner class of the Activity that uses it. Store it across screen flips, and then if it's present in onCreate, feed it the new context. -- Eric On Sep

Hi Romain, Thanks for the response. What was the general effect of the race condition? This might explain why I think that I see this behavior consistently when debugging (when everything is slow) and inconsistently otherwise (when things are fast, but I can't verify what's happening). Is that

As far as I can tell, AsyncTask's cancel method doesn't work as advertised. I can't tell whether this is a bug, or me not understanding AsyncTask's cancel() method. I'm asking here instead of StackOverflow because I suspect it's a bug. I understand from past discussions here that cancel() isn't

You could just have a piece of code that reads in the text file, parses it into an array of items, and then loops through that array to add the items to the menu. It's not conceptually different than doing it statically. The XML inflate method isn't going to work for dynamic data, so it'll have
