    <p><code>AsyncTask</code> is a great thing to run complex tasks in another thread.</p> <p>But when there is an orientation change or another configuration change while the <code>AsyncTask</code> is still running, the current <code>Activity</code> is destroyed and restarted. And as the instance of <code>AsyncTask</code> is connected to that activity, it fails and causes a "force close" message window.</p> <p>So, I am looking for some kind of "best-practice" to avoid these errors and prevent AsyncTask from failing.</p> <p>What I've seen so far is:</p> <ul> <li>Disable orientation changes.(For sure not the way you should handle this.)</li> <li>Letting the task survive and updating it with the new activity instance via <code>onRetainNonConfigurationInstance</code></li> <li>Just canceling the task when the <code>Activity</code> is destroyed and restarting it when the <code>Activity</code> is created again.</li> <li>Binding the task to the application class instead of the activity instance.</li> <li>Some method used in the "shelves" project (via onRestoreInstanceState)</li> </ul> <p>Some code examples:</p> <p><a href="http://fattybeagle.com/2011/02/14/android-asynctasks-during-a-screen-rotation-part-i/" rel="noreferrer">Android AsyncTasks during a screen rotation, Part I</a> and <a href="http://fattybeagle.com/2011/02/15/android-asynctasks-during-a-screen-rotation-part-ii/" rel="noreferrer">Part II</a></p> <p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/shelves/source/browse/trunk/Shelves/src/org/curiouscreature/android/shelves/activity/ShelvesActivity.java" rel="noreferrer">ShelvesActivity.java</a></p> <p>Can you help me to find the best approach which solves the problem best and is easy to implement as well? The code itself is also important as I don't know how to solve this correctly.</p>

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.

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