On button click I want to open a ProgressDialog which will show until a task is being executed, but I want to be able to stop the task even if it hasn't been completed after certain amount of time. I saw a lot of solutions on internet but they are very long. I want to know if there is an easier way.
here is my On Button Click event:
private async void Btn_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
var mDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
mDialog.SetMessage("Loading data...");
mDialog.SetCancelable(false);
mDialog.Show();
CancellationTokenSource cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
cts.CancelAfter(5000);
Task task = new Task(Foo, cts.Token);
task.Start();
int integer = await task;
mDialog.Dismiss();
txtView.Text = integer.ToString();
}
And here is my method which will execute in the task:
public int Foo()
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000);
return 100;
}
Is it possible to stop the task at the 5th second of its execution without changing a lot the code I've just pasted, for example with only passing some time or object to the task's constructor, and also without making the Foo() method async
