In my application I start an AsyncTask to download some data, and on the UI thread I start a ProgressDialog. The problem is when I change from portrait to landscape or vice versa, on the onPostExecute of the task I cannot dismiss the ProgressDialog.

I think I lose the reference of the current activity in the AsyncTask thread. Is this possible? And if it is, how do I fix it?

Can’t I keep a reference of the asyncTask and put it in the bundle?
