Hi, I tried to search for a solution to a general problem I am having and came up empty. I'm posting the following question in hopes someone else has come across this and might know the answer and can share it.
I have an application that contains an activity and a service. The activity through the GUI connects to the the service and starts a background process to write data out to the SD card. The scenario I'm trying to handle is if the end-user pulls the SD card out during the background process writes being performed. I have a broadcast receiver in my service which is registered and does receive the event indicating the media has been unmounted. When my receiver receives this event, it attempts to interrupt the background writing in order to stop and clean up. I'm currently using buffered I/O (not sure if this is the reason for my problem) and so when the service detects it needs to stop writing and clean up, it attempts to do so after closing the open file streams. The calls to 'close' on my buffered output streams are failing due to the SD card being removed. After all the attempts have failed, the Android runtime is killing any processes that have open file streams to the SD card and so my process (Activity + Service) is going away. I could place the Activity and Service in to separate processes such that my activity should survive but service still punted (restarted on an as-needed basis), but I would rather see if there's a more graceful way to handle unflushed I/O such that the process containing my activity and service does not get reaped. Any thoughts, ideas would be greatly appreciated.
