ProgressDialog in the main activity (not Asynctask)

Question

Since I need to get String array from the Asyntask, I need to use the get() after the execute():

String[] result = task.execute().get();

But I also want a loading circle while the task is running and the ProgressDialog only works if you don't use the get() method. This is confirmed, I've done some tests. So I think the only option left here is to call the ProgressDiaglog from the MainActivity. But unluckily it doesn't work. Any solution?

never ever use get() with an asynctask, if you need to get something that was done in an asynctask you need to pass it to onPostExecute and use it there.

Using get() completely goes against what an asycntask is suppose to be for

I know, but what if the asynctask is an individual class and I need to get the String array in my main activity? – Lăng Bùi May 11 '15 at 00:13
then you need to implement an `interface` that calls back to the class that started the task when the data is ready – tyczj May 11 '15 at 00:15
