Question

I’m using AsyncTask to download some files, and want to do something after all tasks finished.

Is there any easy way to do this?

Keep track of how many async tasks you have running and do something when the total is 0.

import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    public int numOfTasks = 0;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
        return true;
    }
    public void addTask(){
        numOfTasks++;
    }

    public void removeTask(){
        numOfTasks--;
    }

    public void allTasksComplete(){

        if(numOfTasks ==0){
            //do what you want to do if all tasks are finished
        }

    }

    class RequestTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String>{

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... uri) {

            String responseString = "";
            return responseString;
        }

         @Override
            protected void onPreExecute() 
            {
                    addTask(); // adds one to task count.
                    super.onPreExecute();

            }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
            super.onPostExecute(result);
            removeTask(); // subtracts one from task count.
            allTasksComplete(); // checks to see if all tasks are done...  task count is 0
            }
        }
    }
