Ok, so in a project I'm in, we are implementing a service to handle connection changes and downloads. The service handles a queue of AsyncTasks, each representing a "download task". This way, we can cancel/pause tasks when connection drops, and also restore them when connection is reestablished. Since the threads AsyncTasks are run are not deterministic, how many ATs should I execute() at the same time?
I've read that I shouldn't reuse tasks. How can I achieve this pause->resume functionality then? Should I tell the thread to sleep? Should I make a no-op while if connection is down? I was trusting the cancel(true) method, which I've read is not reliable either. My main DownloadTask is a subclass of AsyncTask that returns a new AsyncTask to be called when the connection is restored. Is that a good solution? Claudio Roberto França Pereira (a.k.a.
