API.AI: How to stop AsyncTask on click of the AIButton?

Question

Answer 1

You have to do one following thing when canceling AsyncTask. on your button click method.

public void AIButtonClick(View view){
  asyncTask.cancel(false);
}

and check in doInBackground if it's canceled then return from it.

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {     
     if(asyncTask.isCanceled()) return;
   }

Also on in your onPause method you have cancel it was well.

@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
     if(asyncTask!=null){
      asyncTask.cancel(false);

   }
}
