How to check (listen) asynctask status when starting activity

Question 1

You don't need to call getStatus(), you don't need to create a new interface OnTaskCompleteListener, and you don't need getInstance()

Here's how you should do it.

mProgressDialog.show();
new GetTask()
{
    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void result)
    {
        mProgressDialog.dismiss();

        //this means the task is done.
    }
}.execute(this, null);

Question 2

Load ListView in background AsyncTask Refer to the old exercise "ListView with icon loaded from internet", it's a time-consume task to load bitmap from internet. So the code is modified in this exercise, a AsyncTask is implemented to handle the ListView: the bitmap is loaded in background thread, and setListAdapter() in onPostExecute().

row.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/icon"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/weekofday"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
