It will be ready to kill after onPostExecute() is called. You can short-circuit this by calling cancel() from within your doInBackground() method then checking isCancelled() and if true stop whatever your doing and go straight to onPostExecute().
>From >AsyncTask<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html> : Cancelling a task A task can be cancelled at any time by invoking cancel(boolean)<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#cancel(boolean)>. Invoking this method will cause subsequent calls to isCancelled()<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#isCancelled()> to return true. After invoking this method, onCancelled(Object)<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#onCancelled(Result)>, instead ofonPostExecute(Object)<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#onPostExecute(Result)> will be invoked after doInBackground(Object[])<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#doInBackground(Params...)> returns. To ensure that a task is cancelled as quickly as possible, you should always check the return value of isCancelled()<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#isCancelled()> periodically from doInBackground(Object[])<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#doInBackground(Params...)> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
