Running multiple AsyncTasks at the same time — not possible?

Question

I\'m trying to run two AsyncTasks at the same time. (Platform is Android 1.5, HTC Hero.) However, only the first gets executed. Here\'s a simple snippet to describe my probl

Answer 1

It is posible. My android device version is 4.0.4 and android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT is 15

I have 3 spinners

Spinner c_fruit=(Spinner) findViewById(R.id.fruits);
Spinner c_vegetable=(Spinner) findViewById(R.id.vegetables);
Spinner c_beverage=(Spinner) findViewById(R.id.beverages);

And also I have a Async-Tack class.

Here is my spinner loading code

RequestSend reqs_fruit = new RequestSend(this);
reqs_fruit.where="Get_fruit_List";
reqs_fruit.title="Loading fruit";
reqs_fruit.execute();

RequestSend reqs_vegetable = new RequestSend(this);
reqs_vegetable.where="Get_vegetable_List";
reqs_vegetable.title="Loading vegetable";
reqs_vegetable.execute();

RequestSend reqs_beverage = new RequestSend(this);
reqs_beverage.where="Get_beverage_List";
reqs_beverage.title="Loading beverage";
reqs_beverage.execute();

This is working perfectly. One by one my spinners loaded. I didn't user executeOnExecutor.

Here is my Async-task class

public class RequestSend  extends AsyncTask {

    private ProgressDialog dialog = null;
    public Spinner spin;
    public String where;
    public String title;
    Context con;
    Activity activity;      
    String[] items;

    public RequestSend(Context activityContext) {
        con = activityContext;
        dialog = new ProgressDialog(activityContext);
        this.activity = activityContext;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        try {
            ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter (activity, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, items);       
            adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
            spin.setAdapter(adapter);
        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
            Toast.makeText(activity, "Can not load list. Check your connection", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (Exception e)  {
            Toast.makeText(activity, "Can not load list. Check your connection", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        super.onPostExecute(result);

        if (dialog != null)
            dialog.dismiss();   
    }

    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
        dialog.setTitle(title);
        dialog.setMessage("Wait...");
        dialog.setCancelable(false); 
        dialog.show();
    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... Strings) {
        try {
            Send_Request();
            } catch (NullPointerException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        return null;
    }

    public void Send_Request() throws JSONException {

        try {
            String DataSendingTo = "http://www.example.com/AppRequest/" + where;
            //HttpClient
            HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            //Post header
            HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(DataSendingTo);
            //Adding data
            List nameValuePairs = new ArrayList(2);

            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("authorized","001"));

            httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
            // execute HTTP post request
            HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);

            BufferedReader reader;
            try {
                reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
                StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
                String line = null;
                while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                    builder.append(line) ;
                }

                JSONTokener tokener = new JSONTokener(builder.toString());
                JSONArray finalResult = new JSONArray(tokener);
                items = new String[finalResult.length()]; 
                // looping through All details and store in public String array
                for(int i = 0; i < finalResult.length(); i++) {
                    JSONObject c = finalResult.getJSONObject(i);
                    items[i]=c.getString("data_name");
                }

            } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
