Answer 1

Avoid adding a constructor.

Simply pass your paramters in the task execute method

new BackgroundTask().execute(a, b, c); // can have any number of params

Now your background class should look like this

public class BackgroundTask extends AsyncTask {

    @Override
    protected Long doInBackground(String... arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        String a = arg0[0];
        String b = arg0[1];
        String c = arg0[2];
        //Do the heavy task with a,b,c
        return null;
    }
    //you can keep other methods as well postExecute , preExecute, etc

}
