Example to start AsyncTask when button clicked

This exercise demonstrate how to start AsyncTask when button clicked. It will achieve the same function of "Get yweather:forecast from Yahoo! Weather RSS Feed using Thread with Runnable", but using AsyncTask when button clicked.

Example to start AsyncTask when button clicked


Modify layout to add a button to start AsyncTask loading.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" />
    <Button 
        android:id="@+id/start"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Load yahoo Weather" />
    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/weather"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    </ScrollView>

</LinearLayout>
