Can i call an asyncTask multiple times with different parameters like this:

new MyAsyncTask.execute(
                     new String("x"),
                     new String(firstString)
                   );
new MyAsyncTask.execute(
                     new String("y"),
                     new String(secondString)
                   );

Is the above syntax correct? If yes, do the two calls run serialized by default?

  • I've already read that. But it's too messy to find my answer from. My Android version is 5.0. Now how to consider my case? Do the two calls run in serial or parallel? – xvx ph Oct 28 '15 at 19:20

Yes you can. The default behaviour after SDK 11 is using serial executor running on a single thread.

You can modify this if you wish by using such method:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {
    MyAsyncTask.executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR);
} else {
    MyAsyncTask.execute();
}
