I have an issue with a service that makes the UI freeze for a couple of seconds. My app does the following:
The user starts a file upload. The Activity starts or binds to a Service passing it the filename of the data. The Service then uploads the file. After initiating the upload by pressing a button, the UI is responsive for about a second. Then it freezes, and it becomes responsive again soon as the service has finished uploading the file, which you see in the UI because the service sends a notification. I have replaced the upload by some dummy processing, with no effect, the UI still freezes. I have replaced the aidl call to the service by an empty call, with no effect. The thing is annoying mostly because after three seconds a popup appears saying the app doesn't respond. Pressing "wait" makes the app continue normally. I decided to display a progress bar during the upload, but that doesn't help either, I still get the error prompt. My question is, can a service take so much resources that the UI freezes for a couple of seconds? Is there a way of giving the service a lower priority? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
