Yes we agree now that it is not a trigger message problem. > the activity should stop the handler in onDestroy()
So what method is there to kill or stop the handler? I could not find it. Moreover, killing the old handler will not solve the problem with the out-of-control new progress dialog that Android instantiates upon a screen orientation change. I would have to know its handle to dismiss it, but I cannot know its handle because I did not instantiate the new progress dialog myself, right? In other words, is there finally a fix for the problem? How do I dismiss that new ProgressDialog?
