Android: AsyncTask, my 1st task has not finished when the other starts

Here's my code in my main thread

            myAsyncRunnable mar = new myAsyncRunnable(GameActivity.this);
            mar.execute("fire");
            PhotoTask photoTask = new PhotoTask(camera,surfaceCamera,isPreview,holder,GameActivity.this);
            photoTask.execute(null);

in myAsyncRunnable.fire() I have a loop that changes 10 times the image of an ImageView in gameActivity. I want the photoTask to start when the last image has been changed

@Override
protected Void doInBackground(String... params) {
fire();
return null;
}

public void fire() {
        final ImageView image3 = (ImageView) gameactivity.findViewById(R.id.imageView3);
        final int drawables[] = new int[] {R.drawable.fire1,R.drawable.fire2,R.drawable.fire3,R.drawable.fire4,R.drawable.fire5,R.drawable.fire6,R.drawable.fire7,R.drawable.fire8,R.drawable.fire9,R.drawable.fire10,R.drawable.fire11,R.drawable.fire12,R.drawable.fire13,R.drawable.fire14,R.drawable.fire15,R.drawable.fire16};
        for (int i=0;i<drawables.length;i++) {
            final int j=i;
            Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    image3.setImageResource(drawables[j]);
                }
            };
            gameactivity.handler.postDelayed(runnable, 200*j);
        }
    }

But photoTask executes before the last image has apperaed. This is probably due to the postDelayed method and I have tried to execute photoTask in the method onPostExecute() but it didn't work either

Just as pvn said, you need to override the onPostExecute method too and execute your photo async class there. Put this after the doInBackground method.

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(YourParam param)
{
     PhotoTask photoTask = new PhotoTask(camera,surfaceCamera,isPreview,holder,GameActivity.this);
        photoTask.execute(null);
}

Put photoTask.execute(null); in the onPostExecute() of the first AsyncTask
