Android :: Background Process Not Clearing Memory On Android?
Aug 29, 2010
I have an application that has a widget. In the main application, I have an ad framework (cannot be edited due to license) that is accumulatively leaking approx 1MB every time I exit the application. It appears one of its threads are running in the background (unnecessarily) that will keep its process and these threads will be created again when I launch the application. Is it a good idea to call:
android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());
In the onDestroy method of my main activity? Also, would doing this kill my widget's service as well?

Is android's memory 16MB limit per Process or Application? If the limit is by process, I can make some services remote. That means the service will be in different processes, and the limit will be 16 x N.

I am using a TabActivity (Main) with 3 TabSpecs
I am using Intents for the content of the 3 Tabs
TabA, TabB, TabC for example.
All these tab activities use common data that is stored in SharedPreferences
In the Main TabActivity I have an options menu which has a refresh option.
CODE:.............
This refresh uses an AsyncTask (updateCommonDataFromWeb) to reload the common data from the web.
I need a way to tell the 3 tab activities to refresh their views and rebuild their content from the newly downloaded data.
When the tab activities are first created they load the data from SharedPreferences like so:
CODE:..............
I thought about making a common method on each of the tab activities
like.... reloadViewData()
I thought maybe I could use the activity manager from the Main TabActivity to get the activity of the current tab like so:
CODE:.............
Unfortunately i cant get this approach to work, whilst activity is the correct instance its an Activity instead of a TabA,TabB or TabC
Maybe i've completely taken the wrong approach to the whole thing.
I have also read alot about not using Activities for tab content instead using views.
However I dont know what view to use to replace my <RelativeLayout /> as i cant use my R.layout.* as views.

Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget I am getting this message in my log. As I investigated and found out while loading contact image this error comes.I checked size of the image file and it was normal so came to a conclusion that other processes filling up the memory and hence at the time this image is being loaded ,VM running low of memory.
My question is that, is there any tool to figure out which process is responsible for occupying memory so that we can look into the process for the exact reason.

Viber itself seems to work fine, however there is a background process it tries to run which keeps crashing. Relevent log info:
Code:
I/ActivityManager( 449): Start proc com.viber.voip for service com.viber.voip/co
m.viber.service.VoipConnectorService: pid=9613 uid=10072 gids={50072, 3003, 1015,
3002, 3001, 1006, 1028}
D/dalvikvm( 813): GC_EXPLICIT freed <1K, 70% free 2318K/7588K, paused 3ms+2ms, t
otal 56ms
I/ViberApplication( 9613): ViberApplication, initialization STARTED
I/ViberApplication( 9613): ViberApplication initialization STOPPED
[code].....
Everytime it crashes it causes lots of lags and also audio pops. I'm using Cyanogenmod 10.1RC2 with the Galaxy S I9000.

I start a Service from an Activity, the user presses back, the Activity goes away and the Service stays running in the background. However the activity (and it's views) still stay in memory. I tested this with cupcake and G1. To reproduce I've made a simple program.
The activity:
package com.android.service_test;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class StartService extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
startService(new Intent(getApplication(), RunningService.class));
} }

At a certain point in my program, when I'm completely done with my service, my activity executes unbindService() and stopService() -- yet the process persists. I can tell that it persists because I run "ps" in "adb -e shell":
CODE:.............
"adb logcat", I can show you the sequence of events:
ACTIVITY: context.unbindService(serviceConnection);
SERVICE: onUnbind();
ACTIVITY: stopService(serviceIntent); & returns true!
SERVICE: onDestroy();
First, my activity calls unbindService(serviceConnection). According to the documentation, unbindService() will "Disconnect from an application service. You will no longer receive calls as the service is restarted, and the service is now allowed to stop at any time." So that is fine, and it is happening.
Appropriately, we see the onUnbind() call happen on the service side. According to the documentation, onUnbind() is called when "all clients have disconnected from a particular interface published by the service." So this confirms the correct service connection is being passed, and that the service is responding accordingly.
Next, my activity calls stopService(serviceIntent), and returns true. According to the documentation, stopService() does the following: "If there is a service matching the given Intent that is already running, then it is stopped and true is returned; else false is returned." Again, this is happening and returning true.
In response, the service's onDestroy() method is called. According to the documentation, onDestroy() is "Called by the system to notify a Service that it is no longer used and is being removed. The service should clean up any resources it holds (threads, registered receivers, etc) at this point. Upon return, there will be no more calls in to this Service object and it is effectively dead."
At this point I expect the process to disappear from the process table. Yet it remains indefinitely. But why?
Also, the process is so persistent that I can bind to it again, and I see that it is the same exact process responding because the PID (process ID) is the same!

So, I decided to give Tridents ROM a try about 10-minutes ago.
I used ROM Manager, backed-up my old ROM, then downloaded Velocity 0.2.
Now, my phone will do nothing, it turns on and shows the red Droid eye, then when it's time to go to the home screen I get pop-up after pop-up saying that "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I have no way of getting on my phone at all, what can I do?

I Just installed a new theme (Live Wire) for my Lithium Mod Rom. Don't know if there is a connection, but when I need to update an app, I get the message something like "process android media process stopped unexpectedly" and it will not allow the update. Everything else works well. I have turned it off for awhile, and have done a battery pull.

Every 5 minutes this error pops up "Sorry! the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectdly. please try again." It doesnt actually close anything. It pops up even when im not in an app. So it's more annoying than anything.

I'm using Xperia x10 mini. Whenever I try to add a contact to my phonebook, before clicking save this message appears: "The process android.process.acore has stopped unepectedly. Please try again." And I have no other choice but to click "force close"... Another thing is, even though my contacts' names appears in the messages in my inbox, when I click on the phonebook icon, the phonebook is empty...

Are the processes in android asynchronous? If they are asynchronous then how can we conclude when the activity or process is finished or completed its execution.

I woke up this morning to a song playing from my phone that I made with xPiano about 2 weeks ago. I have no idea why this file was activated and when I looked at my task killer, most of my phone's memory had been used up but no programs were running in the background. I've never seen it get this low even when using 20 programs at a time. I've been using a mixture of apps that I've downloaded off of my computer and through the market. Is there any way that someone has access to my device and can look through all of my files/folders? Are there any known hacks/Trojans/viruses that do this?

Is there a way to craft a daemon process as to make it "unlistable" to a process viewer?
OR
is there a way to dynamically change a process name?
I'd like to design a security application without having to modify the firmware, if possible (yes I know about "security through obscurity"...).

So since I got the phone on Thursday, at random, I'll get these popup crash messages, that say "The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly" it has a "Force Close" button, which doesn't seem to change anything other than to acknowlege the message.It will happen at random, sometimes while I'm on the home screen, or sending a text message, but more recently, as I was trying to manage & link contacts. When I searched for this message it seemed to be related to people using Gmail, but I always get this message when I'm doing other things and not even touching my Gmail account.

I've searched around the forums (here and SDX forums) and although it seems the few people that had this issue were able to solve it, my case seems a bit different.
It's different because of the people I've read solving the issue, it was a problem with something they changed / removed with gmail / gmail storage or talk / talk storage. And when they cleared the cache or re-installed the problem went away. Also, it seemed that the same people had a problem with downloading from the market...
Neither of the above apply to me, but yet I'm still getting this FC error all the time!
I was helping a friend with their CL14 Moment out of the box...and went from stock 1.5 CL14 to 2.1 DD03 w/Joey recovery to EclairDD10 and v5 root. I then did the streaming media fix, and then the private app (build.prop) fix (all previously done with my phone no problems). I did all of these update right in a row, and after my last re-boot the FC error (process com.google.process.gapps has stoped unexpectedly) started showing up and won't go away.
The only .apk / odex files I removed were the preloaded Sprint apps
Does anybody have any other ideas on how I can get this FC error to stop? I've tried clearing the cache / data for all the mail / talk apps, rebooted, cleared dalvik cache...

I have the following scenario:
1. My app opens a web view, with a web page that requires a username & password.
2. The user writes his password, and on the Android popup to remember the password he chooses "remember".
3. Now the user wants to log in with a different password. But the web view always remembers his last password and doesn't even show him the login page.
How can I programmatically clear that saved password? Assuming that I know the host URL. I tried webView.clearCache(true), webView.clearFormData(). But it didn't work.

to ensure that nothing is left in the history and back button behaves as usual.Unfortunately, this code doesn't work for me and the _articleView.canGoBack() still returns true. Implementation of clearHistory method is quite complex and uses asynchronous mechanism, which may not work immediately, but no matter how much time I wait the history is still there.

Is it possible to force the cache of your app to clear when the user exits the app? My app piles up cache data (rightfully so) on each start, which is no longer needed once the user quits the app, so I am trying to find a way to forcibly clear it.

I have a MyTouch and a G1. I used to have an Iphone. On my Iphone, when I would get a new mail message it would light up a red number with how many emails there were on the MyTouch and G1 I get a little notification in the status bar at the top of the phone. My question is on the Iphone if the email notification was lit up with a number of emails that I had... and I went into my HOME computer (or any other computer) and read my email the next time the Iphone would go out to check for mail it would find zero there and turn off the notification. But on my MyTouch and G1, if it goes out to check email and there is none (because it was read elsewhere) it does NOT turn that notification off and it always looks like you have mail until you go into your email on the phone and check only to find none. Any way to fix this?
