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

Question

I’m using AIButton in my app and I have a AsyncTask which gets executed after AIButton is clicked and receives some command and AsyncTask sometimes

Answer 1

Try to set resultListener for your AIButton and implement onCancelled() method canceling your AsyncTasks from there.

To mark an AsyncTask as required to stop you should call

asyncTask.cancel(false);

And in your AsyncTask you have to check periodically whether it was cancelled or not by calling isCancelled(). If this method returns true you should stop execution.
