How to wait for all tasks in an ThreadPoolExecutor to finish without shutting down the Executor?

I can't use shutdown() and awaitTermination() because it is possible new tasks will be added to the ThreadPoolExecutor while it is waiting.

So I'm looking for a way to wait until the ThreadPoolExecutor has emptied it's queue and finished all of it's tasks without stopping new tasks from being added before that point.

If it makes any difference, this is for Android.

Thanks

Update: Many weeks later after revisiting this, I discovered that a modified CountDownLatch worked better for me in this case. I'll keep the answer marked because it applies more to what I asked.

Try using queue size and active tasks count as shown below

 while (executor.getThreadPoolExecutor().getActiveCount() != 0 || !executor.getThreadPoolExecutor().getQueue().isEmpty()){
                     try {
                Thread.sleep(500);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            }
        }
