Doing UI task in doinbackground() in Android

Question

Is there a way to do UI task in the doinbackground() of the AsyncTask. I am well aware it is better to do it in onPostExecute method. But in my case since I am need to use a reusable alert, being able to access the UI in my doinbackground would save me a lot of time. That is, I need to tweak the code in 46 places but being able to do this in the doinbackground will need the change in just one place.

Thanks in advance

Hope this will solve your problem

    onPreExecute() {
       // some code #1
    }

    doInBackground() {
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        // some code #3 (Write your code here to run in UI thread)

                    }
                });
    }

    onPostExecute() {
       // some code #3
    }
