Abort loading of AsyncTaskLoader on fragment detach

Question

how can I cancel a running AsyncTaskLoader?

The reference sais, there should be a cancelLoadInBackground() method to cancel a running task, but this method is not available in AsyncTaskLoader?!!

There are two other methods,cancelLoad() and stopLoading(), both do not work for me.

I need to abort the task, if someone switches from the current fragment to another one

There is a v4 support library version of AsyncTaskLoader, but it does not include cancelLoadInBackground(). It does have cancelLoad(), but cancelLoad() doesn't have exactly the same functionality.

Yeah exactly, Im´using support v4 lib, forgot to mention that. Okay,and that means? I´m screwed? – Marian Klühspies Aug 01 '13 at 00:45
Support v4 version 23 contains also the cancelLoadInBackground() method. – sidon Nov 24 '15 at 15:03
