Android :: Activity Crashes When Remote Service Crashes
Jul 16, 2010
I'm trying to understand remote services at the moment and everything works fine, i can start the service and know how to communicate with it through the AIDL-interface. My problem is that the service seems to still run in the same process like the activity it was started from, because the activity crashes too, if there is an error thrown in the Service.
I set the service process to remote ( android:process=":remote" ) so what am i doing wrong? Or what do i have to do to unbind the service-process completely from the activity-process?

we are developing an application where we are depending on a native, custom-written library which sometimes crashes. When the Activity crashes (it's the Activity's SurfaceView that crashes, either while resuming or pausing Activity) we would like to automatically restart the Activity that was just running, preferably without seeing the idle screen in between. What we find strange is that sometimes, our Activity is restarted by Android automatically after the crash, and sometimes not. How does Android decide this? Is it somehow dependant on exactly what the Activity was doing at the time of the crash and if that was considered important enough to restart? How can we force a restart to make sure the Activity doesn't quit after a crash? Running on device flashed with Android 1.5. The Activity is running as singleInstance. Doesn't seem to make much difference which mode it is though. Other methods we have tried are:
1) Since we can predict when crash is going to happen(but not stop it), use AlamrManager to start the Activity again via an Intent, 3 seconds later. Has the disadvantages that 1) need to be able to predict crash 2) if crash takes longer than 3 seconds (normally about 2s) it won't work 3) Idle screen is seen for about ~1 s, since some slack is needed.
2) Start a Service, then let the Service (which always seems to be restarted by Android after crashing) start the Activity in its onStart method. Has the disadvantage that Android doesn't restart the service until 5 seconds after the crash, so the idle screen is seen quite along time before Activity restarts. Is it possible to modify how long it takes before the Service is restarted by the Android system?

I have connected my Android application to a Windows desktop machine via Bluetooth. The application interacts with the machine. At the end of the interaction the application on the desktop closes the socket that was opened between the Android and the desktop application. Right when socket.close() is called on the Windows machine my Android app pops open a dialog saying that the application has stopped unexpectedly and then it quits. I have a breakpoint on the line in the ConnectedThread (like in the BluetoothChat sample) where I read the InputStream on the Android and that is not hit. I also have a breakpoint in the catch statement for the try surrounding the place where I read the InputStream. That one also does not get hit. So I have no idea how I can catch this error. Is this a bug?

My app crashes when i call a ListActivity from an Activity. I have searched on Internet and many people ask the same but i have not found any response. The only person i have found that solves the problems says that he solved changing manifest but he does not say nothing else. I i put the ListAvtivity as main activity in manifest app works ok buet if a set an Activity as main activity an then call ListActivity like:
Intent searchAct = new Intent(this, SearchResult.class); startActivity(searchAct);
then my app crashes. Des anybody know what happens?

My initial activity is basically a splash screen while preforming initialization and login in to network server. To save memory I want to finish() the splash activity once it starts the main menu activity. I still want the remote service to operate. Testing shows it does. But am I going to get into trouble doing this? I know I can restart the remote from the main menu activity but I am trying to save overhead by not starting it twice. The remote service is required by the splash activity.

I wrote an android program that: has a main activity for UI, and it starts a service. The service timely callbacks the UI activity to update views. It works fine except: if the activity is closed (with BACK) and start again, the service will also be started again (The service plays audio file, so there are two overlapped sounds). I use bindService with BIND_AUTO_CREATE flag to start and connect to service. According to the document, it should create service only if it doesn't exist, but obviously it starts another instance when opened second time. All I want is when the activity is closed, the service goes on running, and when the activity opens again, it can reconnect to the service. Is that possible? Or I just misunderstand the usage of service?

In onCreate method of Activity, it binds to a remote service and makes use of AIDL intefaces. Is it required to unbind from the remote service when onDestroy is called on screen orientation change.?
If the activity un-bounded from the remote service in onDestroy and if no other contexts are bound to remote service, is remote service likely to get stopped losing the state that it maintains.?

I've been using:
Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND
for quite some time with great success. When I replace that with:
Notification.DEFAULT_ALL
the program crashes when the notification is called.

I'm trying to create an application that has 3 tabs. Under the middle tab should be a ListView. It starts up fine (on the left tab) but when I click the middle tab it crashes.
The other two tabs are static data specified in the main.xml file. But the middle tab, I try to create dynamically. Here's the code from the main onCreate function:
CODE:...............
Instead I appear to get an exception:
CODE:...............
ContactListActivity is defined this way:
public class ContactListActivity extends ListActivity { ...
I get the feeling that I'm supposed to create the Intent with something like Intent.ACTION_VIEW but this is where I get lost. If this is the problem, I could try stuff until it works, but I'd prefer to understand why.
Or is ContactListActivity supposed to override something ?

I'm getting fairly regular crashes using WebView's in the underlying C code (sigsegv's). There isn't a _whole_ lot of rhyme or reason to it, but one thing that is somewhat suspicious is that I have more than one webview active (only one is one the screen at any one time, but if this has anything to do with my problem it may not matter since it appears that webkit widgets run asynchronously from the main UI thread).
Here's the stack dump. I've looked through the archives and it appears that there are other dumps, but it's really hard to tell from my vantagepoint whether they have anything to do with one another.
This is pretty easily reproducible (especially with one particular url of mine) so it should be relatively easy to track down.

I have separated java code from Android code and have two projects. Android dependent on Java project. Now i want to get the memory trace of the Java project on Android. For that I have created Androd Junit Project implementing Android Instrumentation, and a dummy android project dependent on my actual java project.(as I only want to get memory trace of java project on android).Problem is when I execute Android Junit project, and give a reference of dummy project removing java project dependency, all tests(dummy) run fine.But when I run junit project, with dummy android proj keeping dependency on java project, my application crashes.I get an error message like : "Process crash" not getting any error message in logcat. No clue whats wrong with code.Any help is highly needed.

In my application I've implemented such that pressing the hardware volume keys displays a Toast with the current volume. Things go well most of the times. However long presses of the volume keys do succeed in crashing my application. The Log generated on crash is the following...
The approach I follow:
I have a toast Object and for every key press event detected I inflate a view ,set the view elements within, set it to the toast and then show the toast.
Any idea what is going wrong ? code...

I should post this as a follow-up to my previous thread.
But I think this problem (may be) somewhat big so I create a new thread:
1. If a user install an alternative to 'Home'. (I'll call it 2nd Home)
2. He set this 2nd Home to launch by default for 'Home' action.
3. Whenever this 2nd Home crashes, their only choice is to reboot the system... ?
Because, after setting 2nd Home as default, the 'chooser' will not come out any more even if you press the 'Home' button.
In some case if this 2nd Home crashes in its initialization state, user can go no where, can't even go to Settings -> Manage App -> Clear Defaults
Am I missing something?
