start another activity from an AsyncTask

I want to know how I can start an Activity after completing a task, in details:

In my class I have an AsyncTask, after finish my task, I want to call activity2

   private class AccessTokenGet extends AsyncTask<String, String, Boolean> {
        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
            super.onPreExecute();

        }

        @Override
        protected Boolean doInBackground(String... args) {

            return true;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Boolean response) {
            if (response) {
            //call activity2
        }
    }

if your class is inner

   public class StackQuestion extends Activity {

        @Override
        protected void onCreate( final Bundle savedInstanceState ) {
            super.onCreate( savedInstanceState );

            final MyAsyn mMyAsyn = new MyAsyn( this );
            mMyAsyn.execute();
        }

        public class MyAsyn extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

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

            @Override
            protected void onPostExecute( final Void result ) {
                super.onPostExecute( result );

                startActivity( new Intent( "your intent here" ) );
            }
        }
    }

if it is in a separate file

public class StackQuestion extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate( final Bundle savedInstanceState ) {
        super.onCreate( savedInstanceState );

        final MyAsyn mMyAsyn = new MyAsyn( this );
        mMyAsyn.execute();
    }
}

public class MyAsyn extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

    private final Activity mActivity;

    public MyAsyn( final Activity mActivity ) {
        this.mActivity = mActivity;
    }

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

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute( final Void result ) {
        super.onPostExecute( result );

        this.mActivity.startActivity( new Intent( "your intent here" ) );
    }
}

Edited:

public class Activity1 extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate( final Bundle savedInstanceState ) {
        super.onCreate( savedInstanceState );

        final AccessTokenGet mAccessTokenGet = new AccessTokenGet( this );
        mAccessTokenGet.execute();
    }
}

public class Activity2 extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate( final Bundle savedInstanceState ) {
        super.onCreate( savedInstanceState );

        //Your code here
    }
}

public class AccessTokenGet extends AsyncTask<String, String, Boolean> {

    private final Activity mActivity;

    public AccessTokenGet( final Activity mActivity ) {
        this.mActivity = mActivity;
    }

    @Override
    protected Boolean doInBackground( final String ... args ) {

        return true;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute( final Boolean response ) {

        if ( response ) {
            this.mActivity.startActivity( new Intent( this.mActivity.getBaseContext(), Activity2.class ) );
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
    }
}

@Override 
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean response) {
    if (response) {
        progress.hide(); 

        final Intent intent = new Intent(this, Activity2.class);
        activity1.startActivity(intent);

    } 
}

the only question here is where you get the reference to activity1 - there are some options here that depends on your project - e.g. you can pass it to the async task in the constructor.

PS: be careful with this uncehcked progress.hide(); - this might crash when someone sends your Activity to the background ( e.g. by pressing home ) before this
