Second AsyncTask not executing

Question

I have 2 AsyncTask, one which is creating a socket connections and anotherone that is transmitting objects using those sockets. my code is this:

try {
        connectat = true;
        transmitter = new SocketTransmitter();
        transmitter.execute();
        connector = new socketConnector();
        connector.execute(owner);

        this.open();
    } catch (IOException e) {

However, the AsyncTask called socketConnector is never created or executed. I tried to change the order but then transmitter is not created or executed...

Whats wrong with that?

Answer 1

I hated it when HONEY COMB changed the multiple AsyncTask execution from concurrent to sequential. So every time I execute an AsyncTask, I do something like this.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
    task.executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR);
} else {
    task.execute();
}

But the thread pool size is 5, if you add the sixth task, it will be added in a queue, and will not be executed until one of the 5 thread has finished.
