I have investigated this problem for months now, came up with different solutions to it, which I am not happy with since they are all massive hacks. I still cannot believe that a class that flawed in design made it into the framework and no-one is talking about it, so I guess I just must be missing something. The problem is with AsyncTa...

I've been coerced into applying Microsoft's PageAsyncTask objects, which I am new to (before I've always used jQuery AJAX calls).

An activity I have starts an AsyncTask. What is the best way of getting the Activity notified that the AsyncTask is done. I can pass the Activity as a Context in, but I don't want the AsyncTask to know about the type of the Activity. In .NET land I would subscribe to an event on the "AsyncTask". I didn't find a way to do that in Android...
I have an Android activity that creates custom views, and it is an expensive process. I tried to use a Handler, but when I do, the progress dialog that shows, spins like once every 5 seconds.

Hi, I have a slider that can be pulled up and then it shows a map. I can move the slider up and down to hide or show the map. When the map is on front, I can handle touch events on that map.

On slower devices with low memory, such as my G1, it can take a couple of seconds to generate the bitmap, and to avoid the dreaded force-close, I moved all the graphics code into an AsyncTask. So far so g...
