Threading cancelling #478
Description
Activity
FYI canceling an asynctask doesn't stop the background thread from running, you have to check the cancel status from the background code. You could probably reproduce that kind of behavior with AndroidAnnotations.

@Backgroundis designed doesn't allow easy message sending to interrupt. You could use a shared queue as an inbox to get exchange messages between threads.If you can think of a nice way to cancel
@Backgroundtask, please let us know and reopen this issue. I'm closing it for now.

It would be really useful to have such feature of cancelling background tasks. Don't you think so?
