Hi all, Here's my oddity: I have two emulators communicating via TCP. Each emulator has two threads - one running a server, and the other running a client. Each thread is in a loop, waiting until that thread gets a connection (socket) with the other emulator. Once a thread gets a connection, it calls a synchronized method - doSomething(). Since each thread (server and client) is vying for the same synchronized method, only one thread is active at a given time. For instance, first Emulator1 will have an active server connected to client of Emulator2. Then when this finishes, Emulator2 may be the server for Emulator1's client. etc.
This all seems to work. Except, for.... when I force one emulator's server to exit its perpetual loop of accepting inbound connections, that emulator finishes its server thread and sets a flag which returns to the main activity which then calls the .finish() method on the main activity. The main Activity appears to end normally. (The screen returns to the "home" screen of the emulator). However, the activity continues to act as a server for the other emulator, accepting inbound connections forever. The only way to stop the connections is to close the emulator. (It doesn't stop the problem if I just click the "return" key or "home" key on the emulator.) Other details: Before calling finish(), I specifically close() the serverSocket and other sockets I have been using. I have not specifically called my threads as services (which I know can run in the background). I have just executed the threads in my main activity as standard java threads... I really don't understand why this should be happening. Thanks for any insight!
