    <p>I appreciate the numerous postings regarding AsyncTask on a rotation change. I have the following problem when using the compatability lib and trying to dismiss a <code>DialogFragment</code> in <code>onPostExecute</code>.</p> <p>I have a fragment which fires of an AsyncTask which displays a progress <code>DialogFragment</code>, then in <code>onPostExecute</code> dismisses the dialog and then potentially throws up another <code>DialogFragment</code>.</p> <p>If when the progress dialog is being displayed I put the application into the background I get the following for my fragment: </p> <p>1) <code>onPause</code> </p> <p>2) <code>onSaveInstanceState</code></p> <p>3) <code>onPostExecute</code> in which I try to dismiss and invoke a dialog.</p> <p>I get an <code>IllegalStateException</code> because I'm trying to effectively commit a transaction when the activity has saved its state and I understand this.</p> <p>On a rotation I've assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that I wouldn't get an <code>onPostExecute</code> until the activity has been recreated. However, when putting the application into the background I assumed (definitely incorrectly) that the <code>onPostExectute</code> wouldn't get called while the fragment/activity was paused.</p> <p>My question is, is my solution to simply detect in <code>onPostExecute</code> that the fragment/activity is paused and simply perform what I need to do in <code>onResume</code> instead? Seems somewhat ugly to me.</p> <p>Thanks in advance, peter.</p> <p><strong>Edit 1</strong></p> <p>Need to support 2.1 and above</p> <p><strong>Edit 2</strong></p> <p>I have considered showing the dialog using <code>FragmentTransaction:add</code> and <code>FragmentTransaction:commitAllowingStateLoss</code>however this isn't without its problems.</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.
