  1. POAndroid: Asynctask's doInBackground method is called after a long delay
    text
    copied!<p>I have been trying to download videos from a url, I have implemented my downloading method in the doInBackground() of asynctask, but the doInBackground method is taking a lot of time to get called(5-10 mins), I am using another asyntask to download image in the activity from which I am directed to download video activity and its working fine. My onPreExecute method is being called on time, but after that doInBackground takes almost 5-7 minutes to start. I will be really grateful for any help provided. Here is mycode</p> <pre><code>btnDownloadLQ.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View arg0) { try { new DownloadVideoTask().execute(videoURL); } catch(Exception e) { Log.e("Vidit_TAG","I got an error",e); } } }); private class DownloadVideoTask extends AsyncTask&lt;String, String, String&gt; { @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") @Override protected void onPreExecute() { super.onPreExecute(); showDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS); } protected String doInBackground(String... urls) { int i=0; try { URL url = new URL (urls[0]); InputStream input = url.openStream(); try { //The sdcard directory e.g. '/sdcard' can be used directly, or //more safely abstracted with getExternalStorageDirectory() String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString(); File storagePath = new File(root + "/vidit"); storagePath.mkdirs(); OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream (new File(storagePath,title+".mp4")); try { byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; int bytesRead = 0; while ((bytesRead = input.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) &gt;= 0) { output.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead); } } catch(Exception e) { Log.e("Vidit_TAG","I got an error",e); } finally { output.close(); } } catch(Exception e) { Log.e("Vidit_TAG","I got an error",e); } finally { input.close(); //tvTitle.setText("Completed"); } } catch(Exception e) { Log.e("Vidit_TAG","I got an error",e); } return null; } @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") @Override protected void onPostExecute(String unused) { dismissDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS); alertbox(title); } } </code></pre>
