How can I wait to finish asynctask which is in another class?

Question

I want to wait for asynctask is finished.

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

private List<MyObject> lst_object;
private ObjectManager objectManager;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    initLayout();
    initVariables();

    objectManager = new ObjectManager(this);

    lst_object = objectManager.getAllData();

    **while(!objectManager.getAsyncTaskStatus()) {

    }**

    System.out.println(lst_object.size() + " items");
    }
}

ObjectManager.java

public class ObjectManager {

private Context context;
private Cursor c_object;
private List<MyObject> lst_object;
private MyObject object;

private ProgressDialog progressDialog;
**private boolean status = false;**

public ObjectManager(Context context) {
    this.context = context;
    lst_object = new ArrayList<MyObject>();
}

**public boolean getAsyncTaskStatus() {
    return !status;
}**

class AsyncReadingObjects extends AsyncTask<Void, Integer, String> {
    private int totalObject;
    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        initProgressBar();
        progressDialog.setMessage("Reading objects");
        System.out.println("onPreExecute finished");
    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
        System.out.println("doInBackground started");
        lst_object.clear();

        c_object = context.getContentResolver().query(uri_object, null, null,null,"_id ASC");
        totalObject = c_object.getCount();
        try {
            if (c_object.moveToFirst()) {
                for (int i = 0; i < totalObject; i++) {
                    System.out.println(i + ". ITEM");

                    publishProgress(i);
                    c_object.moveToNext();
                }
            }
        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            c_object.close();
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) {
        progressDialog.setMessage("Reading objects " + values[0] + "/" + totalObject);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String values) {
        progressDialog.dismiss();
        **status = true;**
    }
}

public List<Object> getAllData() {
    AsyncReadingObjects asyncReadingObjects = new AsyncReadingObjects();
    asyncReadingObjects.execute();
    return lst_object;
}

Here is the logs :

....
01-22 00:02:16.260: I/System.out(31507): 300. ITEM

I would like to make the following

onPreExecute finished
doInBackground started
0. ITEM
1. ITEM
2. ITEM
3. ITEM
4. ITEM
5. ITEM
6. ITEM
....
300. ITEM
300 items

What I should do ? Thanks for answers.

Answer 1

Put

System.out.println(totalObject) 

in onPostExecute().

You may want to add a success field to the AsyncTask, that you can set to false if it fails (in the catch) or true if it makes it through the loop.

Then in your onPostExecute() only print if (success)
