Cancelling all the running instances of an AsyncTask

Issue

Is there anyway to cancel all the running instances of an Asynctask ? Thanks in advance.

I want to cancel the progress dialog on pressing back button meanwhile all the instances of an asynctask from the same piece of code.

Solution

You can't cancel all instances WITHOUT a reference to EACH individual AsyncTask.

Read docs on what cancel() does form AsyncTask.

Once you have a reference to each AsyncTask, then you can cancel each of them.
