Question

            public void get(View view){     
                               try {
                               asPt = new ProgressTask().execute(null,null,null);  
                               Log.d("Watcher","Get finished");         
}
            catch (Exception e) {                       
                    e.printStackTrace();                
                    Log.e("Watcher","Get Exception");       
        }       
    }

When I cancel(Boolean) the AsyncTask asPt the Line “Get finished” is never printed.
Why? It also doesn’t catch an Exception in this method.

Remember cancel does nothing so you need to implement it yourself, see link: Android – Cancel AsyncTask Forcefully
