Question

Lets say im im in some activity, and call to some background operation

SomeOperation someOperation = new SomeOperation();
someOperation.setOnOperationFinishListener(new OnOperationFinishListener(
{
   public void onOperationFinish()
   {
     // do some stuff
   }

});
someOperation.start();

Will it be a problem if I exit the activity before the operation finish?

Answer 1

Your pseudo code seems a bit confusing. But my guess would be that it would depend on exactly what background operation you’re doing. If you’re grabbing files off a server or something of the sort, then you exit the activity before the operation gets a chance to fully complete it’s task..this shouldn’t be much of an issue. But again, depends on what exactly you’re trying to do here.
