Android Question Cancel Httpjob

[Facilauto Juan]

Hello there!

I have activity a and activity b.
I'm in activity a. I launch a httpjob request.
Before the httpjob response arrives, I end activity a and go to activity b.
The httpjob response arrives and its attached funtion is activity_a.function.
So, the httpjob response makes activity a to popup again, without user input.

How can I cancel all the httpjobs responses when I finish the activity that called the httpjob request?

Thanks in advance for the answers and your time.

The best solution is to use a service for the HttpJobs. This way the requests will not be affected by the current activity.

Great.
Where do I make the httpjob request? in the activity? Or should I make a delayed call to a function in the service, and make the httpjob request from there?

Use CallSubDelayed to call a method in the service. Let the service handle the HttpJob.

You can use IsPaused to check whether an activity is currently running or not.

Thanks!
But now the app closes and the log says:
android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not for an application

Which line raises this error? Are you showing a Msgbox from the service code? This is not allowed.
