The background thread of the AsyncTask should keep running until doInBackground() completes or the process is terminated. However, this is not a good thing. If you need to have background threads live even after an activity is finished, please have those threads be managed by a Service (perhaps even an IntentService). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.9 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
