Android how to implement parallel execution for As

Question

I need to allow multiple AsyncTask to be running at the same time . This my my AsyncTask :

 private void callAPI(String user_id) {
    new AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>() {

            protected String doInBackground(Void... parameters) {



                List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
                params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("user_id",    user_id));

                return api.post("", params);


            }//end doInBackground


            protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
                Log.i(TAG + "POST() => " + result);


            }//end onPostExecute
        }.execute(); //end AsyncTask
      }

I saw an answer at running-multiple-asynctasks but I don't know how to use it . How can I implement the code below within my AsyncTask :

     @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) // API 11
void startMyTask(AsyncTask asyncTask) {
    if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
        asyncTask.executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR, params);
    else
        asyncTask.execute(params);
}

Answer 1

Create call from AsynTask and call class from MainActivity synchronously :

public class ApiCalling extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>() {

        protected String doInBackground(String... parameters) {

            Log.d("LogTag","starting Async Task:"+parameters[0]);

            List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
            params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("user_id",    user_id));

            return api.post("", params);


        }//end doInBackground


        protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
            Log.i(TAG + "POST() => " + result);


        }//end onPostExecute
    }.execute(); //end AsyncTask

From your MainActivity onCreate():

ApiCalling mObj = new ApiCalling();
mObj.execute("call 1");


 /* if the task inside asyn task if long, then better to get new reference of Async task and execute other task */
ApiCalling mObj = new ApiCalling();
mObj.execute("call 2");

Use this class if you want to execute concurrently Asynctask. Found this class and its working for me.

AsyncTaskExecutor.executeConcurrently(new YourAsyncTask(),1);

Asynctask

private class YourAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Integer, Integer, String> {
        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
            super.onPreExecute();
            Toast.makeText(mContext, "Please wait..Fetching Data",
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(Integer... params) {
            Log.e("passing value",""+params[0]);
            String uri = "http://abcd.com/ServiceTest.php?id="
                    + params[0];
            Log.e("passing value",""+uri);
            return SetServerString;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
            super.onPostExecute(SetServerString);

    }

Hope it helps you!
