Cancelling progressdialog and asynctask

Question

I am displaying a cancelable progress dialog while an asynctask is running. When I press the back button, I want both the dialog to disappear, but also to cancel the running async task. The problem is: The dialog-instance is not known to the asynctask, so I cant't cancel the dialog after the asynctask has been cancelled.

Currently it is only cancelled after I pushed the back button twice.

Answer 1

Dialog boxes have an onDismissed callback, use that to kill of the async task.
