How to make one AsyncTask for multiple Activities?

Question

Android

Is there a way to make one asynctask so that two or more activities can access it?

Answer 1

Service

Answer 2

You were correctly told that asynctask is not an option. The correct solution in such a situation is Service . At the very beginning, you can create a service using startService, then from each activity you can bind to it using bindService. The service runs in the MainThread, so the tasks must be moved to a separate thread (but God forbid you use asynctask before doing this). Look at the implementation of IntentService, it's not quite what you need, but it's easy to complete it.
