Hi. Yesterday I asked at google groups about thread cancelling in AndroidAnnotations. And Mathieu adviced me to explan this feature in issue.

It' really cool to use @background and @UIView instead of AsyncTask. But not all features of AsyncTask are covered. In our project we have a lot of code, that uses its cancel feature (onCancelled()).
Let me show you couple of most common cases:

• Sometimes we run ProgressDialog, while retrieving information from internet, and when user cancels this dialog we want to dismiss it and finish the whole activity. I saw many cases of such behaviour in other apps on GitHub
• Sometimes background task should be stopped and runned again with new parameters, that occured somehow.

It would be really useful to have such feature of cancelling background tasks. Don't you think so?
