If an activity is killed, does the AsyncTask live on?

Question

I think I know the answer to this, but does an AsyncTask continue to live on once its calling Activity has been finish()ed?

    protected void onPr         


        

Answer 1

I've experienced some weirdness with Async Tasks where if an activity is killed by the OS and when the app resumes, the AsyncTasks sometimes do not run at all. I am unsure why they get into this state. If you execute your AsyncTasks in your own executor thread, this does not happen. I might be running into some odd circumstance. Thought it might be useful to post here anyway :).
