cannot execute task : the task is already running

Question

I developed a game that shares video on FB, it was working well before but I dunno how now I'm getting this error. Also I was getting all permission and now it's not giving me any. And in FB RequestAsyncTask class I made some modifications for AlertDialog that show process of uploading video.

Here is where I'm executing AsyncTask

Request request = new Request(session, "me/videos", postParam, HttpMethod.POST, callback);
RequestAsyncTask reqTask = new RequestAsyncTask(Result.this, request);
reqTask.execute();

And Logcat

Solution 1

An AsyncTask can only be executed once. Are you calling execute somewhere else in your code?

Solution 2

An instance of class AsyncTask can only be executed once. So you have to make new instance everytime you call execute().

new ClassName().execute();

Solution 3

you can use AsyncTask more than once by new CLASS_NAME().execute() CLASS_NAME extends AsyncTask, without create instance from CLASS_NAME

make sure you're calling the request task from the UI thread: stackoverflow.com/a/15558437/611888

I tried UI thread already for Request task and also for RequestAsyncTask both separate and together also. Still getting same error.

[OMArikan]

I think the problems related with getting permission part, cuz I'm sure I was getting all request from facebook but now size of it always 0 and I put in comment both Request and RequestAsyncTask still same error
