    <p>I have an Async task in my main activity which runs when I press a button. Now for some reason if the request takes too long(due to the server being unavailable) I am unable to even close the activity using the back button. Does anyone know why this is happening? From this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6023350/android-asynctask-blocks-back-key-dispatch-event">Android AsyncTask blocks back key dispatch Event</a> I understand that the back button should automatically kill my activity and finish the async task. But that does not seem to be happening. The only way I can come out of the activity is by pressing the home button on my android phone which of course simply saves the state so once I open up the activity again the async task still continues to execute.</p> <pre><code>class mytask extends AsyncTask&lt;Void,Void,String&gt; { HttpResponse response; @Override protected void onPreExecute() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onPreExecute(); } @Override protected String doInBackground(Void... arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Log.d("In","IN"); HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("someurl"); try { // Add your data List&lt;NameValuePair&gt; nameValuePairs = new ArrayList&lt;NameValuePair&gt;(); nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("name", "somename")); httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs)); response = httpclient.execute(httppost); p=inputStreamToString(response.getEntity().getContent()).toString(); return p; } catch (ClientProtocolException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block } return null; } protected void onPostExecute(String result) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onPostExecute(result); } } </code></pre>

    2. COI have posted some code but I dont think that it is the cause for my activity not closing when I press the back button. Even if I dont override the back button the task should ideally kill itself according tot he linked question

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
