Android AlertDialog inside AsyncTask

Question

I have a listview which have checkboxes. For each checkbox (they are about 3), it has a specific AsyncTask for it.

I never know what checkboxes use

Answer 1

you can access ui by this method inside the function doInBackground... :

getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        if (!dialog.isShowing()) {
            dialog.show();
        }
        dialog.setMessage(getText(R.string.lbl_downloading) + " : " + String.valueOf(mCount) + " / " + String.valueOf(totalItems));
    }
});

this is a snipped taken from my code which displays the downnloaded items.
