I wasn't able to get the AsyncTask to work (although I have used it
successfully in another app). What I did was use the Looper.prepare();

public void run(){
Looper.prepare();

changed.
As for async tasks -- what you're describing IS a one-shot task, in
any sense that
Wow, dude...thanks! That was a thorough answer. Usually get a vague,
one sentence response that leaves me more confused than before.
