Description

This is a draft issue to start tracking things

This is related to the work in PR #10085 (here the direct link to the conversation.).

From the PR review emerged the need to better investigate on the convenience to manage the progress dialog as cancelable but moreover to be able to conveniently cancel under certain circumstances (and correctly dismiss the dialog) the ongoing preview operation. Currently there is not an unique identified solution that fits both the EditPostActivity and the PostsListActivity with its VM. Some more analysis/discussion on this will be needed.

Research direction
