[android-developers] Re: Async Task, rotation and indeterminate progressbar in custom header.

AsyncTasks are a nifty tool but they have a fairly limited specific
set of uses. The previous responses have pointed out a several
problems with this code: you can't keep static refs to Activites or
Views, multiple Activities can't share a progress bar, etc.

I don't understand the use case, but I agree with Mark that, from the
code you've supplied, this might be better done as an IntentService or
as a pair of Fragments.

I'm going to be giving a Webinar on the pitfalls surrounding
AsyncTasks next week, on the 29th:
