How i can use Asynctask correctly?

133 views Asked by At

I'm developing an Android application but Asynctask and Looper create to me more problem and i don't understand how to solve this problem... This is my main activity:

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH)
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 private ProgressDialog progress = null;
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  


  //Check if the connectivity is available   
  CheckConnectivity check = new CheckConnectivity();
  Boolean conn = check.checkNow(this.getApplicationContext());
  //if connectivity is available
  if(conn == true){
   //Create the action bar
   if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {  
    StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
    StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);

    ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
    actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
    actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
    actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
    actionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#0170a5")));
   }
   setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
   GetNews getNews = new GetNews();
   getNews.execute();
  }else{
      connectivityMessage("Nessuna connessione presente, assicurati di avere il traffico dati oppure il Wi-Fi attivato e riprova."); 
  }
 }

If you want to use AsyncTask so use it, you shouldn't mix it with Lopper...

protected Integer doInBackground(Void... params) {}

already working on background thread and there is no reason to call Lopper, for what?

If your application need to do some kind of long computation so AsyncTask is very good tool for it because offers methods which working on UI Thread and allow to update UI with some progress of work because every User that will use your application should know that application "doing something" (when it takes more than 2-5 seconds).

Also it's generic and that provide some benefits.

If you do not need to update UI just use for example Handler.

so remove Looper.prepare();

0
AudioBubble On

Try to add:

if (Looper.myLooper() == null) Looper.prepare;

It worked for me
