    <p>I have an Android application that has 3 tabs; they're created using an Activity (TabsFragmentActivity), and the interfaces for each tab are created using Fragments (TabProfile, TabSearch, and TabLocations fragments). </p> <p>In one of my fragments (TabLocations), I start an AsyncTask. I want to be able to cancel the AsyncTask once the user switches to a different tab. Is there a way for me to do this through the Activity (TabsFragmentActivity) that populates the tabs? </p> <p>I think what I need to do is check on the status of the AsyncTask from the TabsFragmentActivity activity, but I'm not sure how to do this since the AsyncTask is initiated in one of the fragments and not the activity itself. The issue I have now is that at the async task, it tries to populate some listviews, and the listviews aren't on the screen if the user switches tabs.</p> <p><strong>TabFragmentActivity.java</strong></p> <pre><code>package com.example.q; import java.util.HashMap; import android.content.Context; import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity; import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction; import android.util.Log; import android.view.View; import android.widget.TabHost; import android.widget.TabHost.TabContentFactory; import com.parse.Parse; import com.parse.ParseACL; import com.parse.ParseUser; public class TabsFragmentActivity extends FragmentActivity implements TabHost.OnTabChangeListener { private static final String TAG = "TabsFragmentActivity"; private TabHost mTabHost; private HashMap mapTabInfo = new HashMap(); private TabInfo mLastTab = null; private class TabInfo { private String tag; private Class clss; private Bundle args; private Fragment fragment; TabInfo(String tag, Class clazz, Bundle args) { this.tag = tag; this.clss = clazz; this.args = args; } } class TabFactory implements TabContentFactory { private final Context mContext; /** * @param context */ public TabFactory(Context context) { mContext = context; } /** (non-Javadoc) * @see android.widget.TabHost.TabContentFactory#createTabContent(java.lang.String) */ public View createTabContent(String tag) { View v = new View(mContext); v.setMinimumWidth(0); v.setMinimumHeight(0); return v; } } /** (non-Javadoc) * @see android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity#onCreate(android.os.Bundle) */ protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // Step 1: Inflate layout setContentView(R.layout.tabs_layout); // Step 2: Setup TabHost initialiseTabHost(savedInstanceState); mTabHost.setCurrentTab(1); if (savedInstanceState != null) { //mTabHost.setCurrentTab(1); mTabHost.setCurrentTabByTag(savedInstanceState.getString("tab")); //set the tab as per the saved state } // initialize Parse Log.d(TAG, "initializing Parse"); Parse.initialize(this, "rReToGbnCSdQEi7Q33UrCO4U395Rk7RcKPcNncOn", "haJKaN0zbNKhgBT1t9jGUY0ih4rYQfPMA9p31BSw"); ParseUser.enableAutomaticUser(); ParseACL defaultACL = new ParseACL(); // If you would like all objects to be private by default, remove this line. defaultACL.setPublicReadAccess(true); ParseACL.setDefaultACL(defaultACL, true); } /** (non-Javadoc) * @see android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity#onSaveInstanceState(android.os.Bundle) */ protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) { outState.putString("tab", mTabHost.getCurrentTabTag()); //save the tab selected super.onSaveInstanceState(outState); } /** * Step 2: Setup TabHost */ private void initialiseTabHost(Bundle args) { mTabHost = (TabHost)findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost); mTabHost.setup(); TabInfo tabInfo = null; TabsFragmentActivity.addTab(this, this.mTabHost, this.mTabHost.newTabSpec("Tab1"). setIndicator("", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.profile)), (tabInfo = new TabInfo("Tab1", TabProfile.class, args))); this.mapTabInfo.put(tabInfo.tag, tabInfo); TabsFragmentActivity.addTab(this, this.mTabHost, this.mTabHost.newTabSpec("Tab2"). setIndicator("", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.locations) ), (tabInfo = new TabInfo("Tab2", TabLocations.class, args))); this.mapTabInfo.put(tabInfo.tag, tabInfo); TabsFragmentActivity.addTab(this, this.mTabHost, this.mTabHost.newTabSpec("Tab3"). setIndicator("", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.search)), (tabInfo = new TabInfo("Tab3", TabSearch.class, args))); this.mapTabInfo.put(tabInfo.tag, tabInfo); // Default to the second tab this.onTabChanged("Tab2"); mTabHost.setOnTabChangedListener(this); } /** * @param activity * @param tabHost * @param tabSpec * @param clss * @param args */ private static void addTab(TabsFragmentActivity activity, TabHost tabHost, TabHost.TabSpec tabSpec, TabInfo tabInfo) { // Attach a Tab view factory to the spec tabSpec.setContent(activity.new TabFactory(activity)); String tag = tabSpec.getTag(); // Check to see if we already have a fragment for this tab, probably // from a previously saved state.

    2. COhi, I added my code...it's a bit long so that's why I didn't bother posting it to begin with. I think I need a higher level overview of how I should approach this task.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
