Asynctask status always showing running

Question

I want to execute an asynctask after finishing the first task. But when printing the status the of the first task it always shows RUNNING.If execute both tasks parallel only smaller task will be executed. I am running both in activity oncreate method.Any idea?

here is my code sample

public class test extends Activity 
 {

    ExecuteTask1 task1; 
    ExecuteTask2 task2; 
 @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
     {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

            task1 = new ExecuteTask1();
            task1.execute(token);
            System.out.println(task1.getStatus());
            if(task1.getStatus() ==AsyncTask.Status.FINISHED)
            {
                task2 = new ExecuteTask2();
                task2.execute(token);
            }

     }
}

Answer 1

In your code right now, you aren't giving task1 time to finish. Start task2 from the onPostExecute method of task1. (You'll have to modify the code in class ExecuteTask1 for this to work.)

Alternatively, have task1 call back to your activity (or post a message to it or something) in onPostExecute so your activity can then start task2.

Answer 2

That's because you get status of task1 right after you start it - you need to call second AsyncTask from first one's onPostExecute(), using handler or some other way.
