Is there any way to name AsyncTasks in Android for the purposes of profiling? As of now, the AsyncTasks only shows up in the profiler as
[N] AsyncTask #1
[M] AsyncTask #2
[K] AsyncTask #3
[L] AsyncTask #4
etc...
What I would like to do is to be able to name them in some way to easily identify them in the trace file.

AsyncTask deprecated alternative Android – Java Here, we are using the Executor class as an alternative to the deprecated AsyncTask. First, create an instance of the executor by using any of the factory methods: private final Executor executor = Executors.
An asynchronous task is defined by 3 generic types, called Params , Progress and Result , and 4 steps, called onPreExecute , doInBackground , onProgressUpdate and onPostExecute .
The basic methods used in an android AsyncTask class are defined below : doInBackground() : This method contains the code which needs to be executed in background. In this method we can send results multiple times to the UI thread by publishProgress() method.
In summary, the three most common issues with AsyncTask are: Memory leaks. Cancellation of background work. Computational cost.
You can rename current thread from code that run in the thread. For example, add next code in your doInBackground() function:
String oldName = Thread.currentThread().getName();
Thread.currentThread().setName("MY-ASYNC");
...
<your code here>
...
Thread.currentThread().setName(oldName);
