Ok, I'm really struggling with what is likely a simple issue. All I really want to do is have an activity spawn a thread to do a non- trivial action (for now, just testing with sleep(5000) ). Then, when that non-trivial action completes, the thread should notify the activity, and the activity should present something visual, and proceed. Simple enough right? I'm trying to use a Handler subclass to which I send messages using sendMessage(). That handler subclass with then notify the activity. It all seems to work actually, but then when the thread completes, android is throwing an unhelpful exception:
05-13 00:58:14.476: ERROR/JavaBinder(1073): *** Uncaught remote exception! (Exceptions are not yet supported across processes.) 05-13 00:58:14.476: ERROR/JavaBinder(1073): android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: { what=1004 when=4149225 arg2=1 } This message is already in use. 05-13 00:58:14.476: ERROR/JavaBinder(1073): at android.os.MessageQueue.enqueueMessage(MessageQueue.java:173) 05-13 00:58:14.476: ERROR/JavaBinder(1073): at android.os.Handler.sendMessageAtTime(Handler.java:457) 05-13 00:58:14.476: ERROR/JavaBinder(1073): at android.os.Handler.sendMessageDelayed(Handler.java:430) 05-13 00:58:14.476: ERROR/JavaBinder(1073): at android.os.Handler.sendMessage(Handler.java:367) 05-13 00:58:14.476: ERROR/JavaBinder(1073): at android.view.ViewRoot.windowFocusChanged(ViewRoot.java:2421) 05-13 00:58:14.476: ERROR/JavaBinder(1073): at android.view.ViewRoot$W.windowFocusChanged(ViewRoot.java:2594) 05-13 00:58:14.476: ERROR/JavaBinder(1073): at android.view.IWindow $Stub.onTransact(IWindow.java:166) 05-13 00:58:14.476: ERROR/JavaBinder(1073): at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:287) 05-13 00:58:14.476: ERROR/JavaBinder(1073): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method) As a seasoned Java developer, running into trouble like this so early in a new project is frustrating. However, I believe in Android and the broader Google development platforms, so I'd really like to solve this, but I think I need the communities help. Even just some sample code (skeleton apps) that demo some best practices regarding the threading (such as usage of HandlerThread and Looper) would be a big help.
