Android :: AsyncTask Interrupted Exception?
Aug 18, 2010
I am facing an issue with AsynsTask in my Application. I really do not understand the reason of it happening.
The issue is "The application works perfectly usually, now when any of the activity is displayed on the screen and I keep my device idle for a longer period of time. Then when I make the keyguard on the view of the last active activity is displayed to me. But as soon as I click on any component below mentioned exception is thrown. If the device is not kept for a longer period of time then there is no problem as such. The application makes http connection in onResume of most of the activities. I did this since every time the user comes to particular view then he should get the updates lists of posts from the webservice"
CODE:................
Let me know the reason behind this error and any solution to this?

I am using AsyncTask in my application.
The problem is that when server is down the AsyncTask throws an Interrupted exception. How to track that whether server is down or not.
CODE:.........
This same problem also occurs when the handset is kept idle for some time then keyguard gets lock and I suppose that WI-FI also gets disabled. So, when I enable the keyguard and if my application is in foreground then it gives the same exception. What should I do in order to remove this exception?

AsyncTask blocks exceptions? Please see the below code. My "getOffersStatus" function catches certain exceptions and show them in a AlertDialog. But instead of getting my custom exceptions message I get default error dialog "The application ... has stopped unexpectdly. Please try again".

I'm trying to make a simple ProgressDialog appear while my AsyncTask is fetching data. In my onPreExecute() method I have this: pd = ProgressDialog.show(c, "Loading...", "Please wait");
c is the context passed into the constructor of my AsyncTask from this.getApplicationContext(). Unfortunately, I keep getting an exception with this message: Unable to add window -- Token null is not for an application
What am I doing wrong?
Using this instead of this.getApplicationContext() has revealed another problem. When I call ProgressDialog.show(..., a ProgressDialog is displayed, but not until after the AsyncTask has completed. In other words, the data loads and then the dialog is displayed. If I include pd.dismiss() in my onPostExecute() then I never even see the dialog (presumable because it is closed before it ever gets opened).
It turns out that fetch.get() was hogging the UI thread and not letting the ProgressDialog display.

I'm trying to figure out the correct way to create an AsyncTask to retrieve some data from the internet and then to take that data and bundle it up in an Intent and pass it to a new activity(A list display). So in the first activity I just have an EditText and Button. In the event of an OnClick the task should be called and when it is finished the data should be bundled inside an Intent and passed to the next Activity. The problem is when I take the results from onPostExecute and set them to an instance variable of the main activity, that instance variable is still null when the task is complete. Here is the barebones version of the code:
CODE:...........
When I debug the application I see onPostExecute does contain a valid PlacesList full of results, so why is the instance variable places set to null after the task is executed? I am going about "returning data" from an AsyncTask incorrectly?

I have a PNY 16GB HC Micro SD card (in virgin mobile samsung reverb). I've had it for about seven months and the other day i dropped my phone (in otter box) and then it said it couldn't read my sd card so i pulled it and blew out the slot and on the card and put it back. It then said "SD card blank or unsupported data, so i put it in the adapter and put it in my computer. it detected it and i started to move my pictures and apps over to a file. in the middle of this it said "data transfer interrupted, please insert disk into drive" so i pulled it out and put it back. it did the same thing two more times and now it won't detect it at all. i don't wanna loose all the stuff.

colName+" TEXT, "+colAge+" Integer);");
I want to select all the records in the database like this and display them in a gridview:SQLiteDatabase db=this.getWritableDatabase();Cursor cur= db.rawQuery("Select "+colName+", "+colAge+" from "+tableName, new String [] {});String [] from=new String []{DatabaseHelper.colName,DatabaseHelper.colAge};
int [] to=new int [] {R.id.colName,R.id.colAge};
SimpleCursorAdapter sca=new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,R.layout.gridrow,c,from,to);
GridView grid=(GridView)findViewById(R.id.grid);
grid.setAdapter(sca);but i receive the following exception:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: column '_id' does not exist.the db table does not have a column with name '_id'so what is wrong with this code

I have a Galaxy S4 SGH-i1337 with android 4.2.2 baseband i1337YCYAMF3. About a month ago I rooted and installed safestrap on it. I just recently removed my custom rom in slot 1 so all slots except the stock are empty. I booted back into my stock rom I tried to get the AT&T Update to 4.3, it downloaded and rebooted to install and said that the install was Interrupted. How I can get the 4.3 update to work on it? I am guessing I need to remove safestrap and restore the stock system restore image but I don't know how.

I like to download podcasts to my hero which can take a while because they're pretty big files. If I get an email or text while downloading it pauses my download and says waiting for data connection. The same thing happens sometimes when it bounces from WiFi to Ev. The only way I can get it to start downloading again is to start another download. This is annoying so does anyone know a better way to resume a download or is there some setting I can change?

When I first installed the "Angry Birds" game, it worked fine. It still works fine, with one issue. A couple of weeks ago, it started having popup ads from Admob in the upper right corner of the screen. They stay several seconds, then disappear, and then reappear a short time after, and the cycle repeats. I wouldn't mind ads, after all the game was free. But it's right in the spot you need to see most to play the game. Is there a way to disable these ads? Or at least move them to the lower left corner?

I am working on a simple application (studying purposes) which list all the files from a selected folder. On top of that I would like to have a search feature where the user can search for files (the code for that is already in place). Now, I was thinking about having the search running in the background somehow, whilst the user can still navigate, create folders, copy, sort and do other stuffs normally. When the search finishes the user would get a notification and then could click on it and go to that activity (It ideally should be the same ListView I already use for browsing the files, I would just need to update the Adapter there with the latest processed data after clicking in the notification). What's the best answer for that? Threading or AsyncTask?

Can anyone point me to a good example where a AsyncTask queries a local SQLite database and then updates the UI successfully. I have a database which I query using doInBackground... create a new custom SimpleCursorAdapter (overriding onViewBind), return the adapter (SimpleCursorAdapter), then in postExecute() create ListView adapter which is set to the the SimpleCursorAdapter, that was returned, then I set the listview adapter using SetAdapter(adapter);...
For some reason I throw an exception on fillWindow.java:200....

I know this is not how an async task should behave but my question is how to "block" the user while executing it.My need is the following: I have my own backup/restore process and I have an async task to run these two actions. The backup is fine, I can warn the user when the backup is done and that's just fine But my problem is about the restore process. When the user click on restore he shouldn't be able to make any change in the application (and anyway don't want to because he would lose all his changes).I understand that having the user blocked while restoring (or maybe with a progress bar) is not a best pratice but I do not see any other possibility in this context.

I know how to use AsyncTask in a standard manner to manage operations that are in the background in relation to a UI thread.However,I want to run a task in the background which might run for a very long time under certain circumstances. In these cases, I would like to force the background task to fail if it runs for an excessive amount of time.I know that I can invoke the "get(long timeout, TimeUnit unit)" method of AsyncTask in my UI thread in order to terminate my background task if it runs too long. However, in that case, my UI will block while this "get()" command is waiting.There are probably other drawbacks to directly calling "get()" in this manner, not the least of which being an evil interaction with the "done()" method of AsyncTask's contained FutureTask object, which itself is calling "get()" at least this is what I see when I look at the source code for AsyncTask.

I have an activity that needs to do some stuff in the background. When the background is done, I want it to load a new activity.I can successfully kick off the async task and using using ViewSwitcher I can show a nice progress dialog.However, when the user hit 'back' or 'close' from the new task, I want them to see the main screen of this task again. So, I use the showPrevious() after I start the new Activity, but I see the screen switch from the loading window back to the main window BEFORE the new Acitivity is launched.How do I get it to switch after the new activity, or when they come back from the new activity?I tried onRestart() and onResume() but both of them seem to give me a view of -1 that I couldn't do much with.

I'm running a network service within an ASyncTask. I want to be able to time the task, and after a certain period of time interrupt it.Is there a simple way to do this? Basically, when the doInBackground() methods starts, I want to say "If it hasn't completed in 30 seconds, do something else".

I'm developing a game based on SurfaceView and a game thread for the whole game thing.Now I want to do some HTTP requests triggered on events inside the thread. They should of course be asynchronous, so the game doesn't stop. I found AsyncTask to be a neat way to do this but I'm having trouble implementing this at the moment. Maybe I misunderstood the concept of AsyncTask,I don't know it just drives me nuts as I read docs and blogs and still I don't get it. So sorry if that's a dumb question but I'm mad of thinking about it.

while debugging and app that uses AsyncTask to record audio and update UI I noticed that everytime that an AsyncTask object ends running (finishes doInBackground and onPostExecute or on Cancelled it´s thread stays alive (running status).At least for me that should not be the behavior of the class since the doInBackground task may not stay running forever (as an example the android manual says that a status bar should be updated by an asynctask, and it won´t last for the whole app running time).Is there anything I´m missing, as a method to destroy it, or should I just ignore and keep creating threads as I need and the VM will handle them as it needs resources?

When I try to compile to following code, I get two errors:
Description Resource Path Location Type
Syntax error on token "void", invalid Expression AsyncTask.java /AsyncTask Project/src/org/me/asynctask line 19 Java Problem
Description Resource Path Location Type
The type AsyncTask is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments AsyncTask.java /AsyncTask Project/src/org/me/asynctask line 25 Java Problem

Obviously AsyncTask IS a generic (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#execute so why do i get those errors?

In order to get XML data from a server repeatedly, I'm attempting to use AsyncTask and Timer as per Mark Murphy's suggestion. I get the following error:01-07 16:11:26.705: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(729): Caused by: java.lang.Runtime Exception: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()I'm using SDK 1.5 with Eclipse on Windows.I've looked in documentation, on StackOverflow and in the Android Developers group, but I'm not clear what's causing the error or how to fix it.I can get the data once - i.e. without Async and Timer - and parse it via SAX without problems.s: I'm quite new to Android.

My program was going wonderfully. It is a search engine that connects to our back end database by sending Get requests to our server and displays the results. I've managed to get it to query my server and back end database, return results using JSON, return the first headers and pour them into a ListView widget in the main activity. Then when the user clicks on one of the headers it then sends another query from a sub-activity. It then parse those results and format them neatly into a WebView embedded into the sub-activity.
All this works perfectly. That is until I come to make a second query on the main activity. Listed below is my stack trace of where the error happens. I think I know why this is happening, but obviously not clearly understanding it.
I think it is because I am trying to call AsyncTask again. I remember reading that the AT can only be called once, but I presumed quite wrongly that this meant you can not do concurrent calls. I thought that once an AT had done it's task it was cleared and then could be called again, but this does not seem to be the case. Is it because of AT attempts at more than one call ? If so, would I be better changing that section into a Handler with a Runnable on the main activity?

I'm working out my first multi-threaded application using Android with the AsyncTask class. I'm trying to use it to fire off a Geocoder in a second thread, then update the UI with onPostExecute, but I keep running into an issue with the proper Context.
I kind of hobbled my way through using Contexts on the main thread, but I'm not exactly sure what the Context is or how to use it on background threads, and I haven't found any good examples on it.
Here is an excerpt of what I'm trying to do:
CODE:...........
It keeps failing at the sixth line there, because of the improper Context.

Tell about the "asynctask" used in android application. Currently I am working on an application where I have to create a Class in which I have to just get the response of any particular URL given. I this particular class I was told to perform this task by making use of "asynctask".

I'm having a problem with the AsyncTask class. It seems like my task stops working after creating 4 or 5 tasks.
Im having 2 activities. MainActivity which only holds a button that starts a second activity called ImageActivity.
ImageActivity is very simple. it got an onCreate that sets the layout, and then it starts a new AsyncTask that loads an image from the internet. This works fine the first few times. But than it suddenly stops working. The onPreExecute method is run every time, but not the doInBackground method. I have tried to simplify the doInBackground with a sleeping loop, and the same thing happens. I cant understand this behavour since the asynctask is both canceled and set to null in the onDestroy method. So every time i start a new ImageActivity, i also create a fresh AsyncTask.
I recreate the ImageActivity and the task by hitting the back button, and than clicking the button on the MainActivity.
UPDATE: Code that starts the ImageActivity (inside a button onClickListener)
CODE:...........
The code above starts this activity
CODE:.............
UPDATE:
I have tested using a combination of traditional Threads and runOnUiThread method, and it seems to work better. Now the thread runs every time.

I've been using my Activity class to access my DB which made my program freeze sometimes.
So I decided to use AsyncTask instead to handle the DB.
My problem is I don't know how to instantiate my SQLite DB "TheDB" from AsyncTask's class
CODE:.............
This worked fine on the Activity class, but it I dont know how to use it here
TheDB's constructor is TheDB(Context context) but this class is not a "context" so how can i use my DB here?

I don't understand why I'm getting this error. I'm using AsyncTask to run some processes in the background. I have:
protected void onPreExecute()
