android - How to kill a Activity and the AsyncTask

Question

i am working on a little game. When I press the backbutton the activity will show a window cancel game yes/no.

If I press Yes i get via finish() back to my MainActivity.

My Problem is, that I can't start the game again, because my Asynctask wasn't finished. I first have to kill the app in the "recently used apps".

Answer 1

You need to cancel the AsyncTask in the Activity's onStop.
