There are several ways to "fix" this issue. The simplest one is to use ImageDownloader.

Hello Erel

I am having the same issue with HttpJob taking some time to complete and the user navigating away from the activity and then the HttpJob completing taking the use back to the original activity. What are the other ways to fix this as I am loading data.

Thanks

You should use a service to handle the downloads. You will then be able to do whatever you need with the downloaded resources.

My current solution is to stop the service (HttpUtils2Service) when navigating away from the activity, and restart the service when the activity is started. Although sometimes it crashes.

Why does it crash? What is the error message?

You do not really need to stop the service. Just check whether the activity is running with IsPaused(<Activity>) in JobDone.

Well, it does not have an error message, just a dialog telling that the app has stopped.

There should be an error message in the log together with this dialog.
