The deprecated Thread methods are not implemented in Dalvik. You could use a standard debugger API to talk to it as a remote debugger. That is, no API calls are provided by Dalvik, but it supports JDWP for remote debugger access. So if you managed to connect to the VM through a "local" network connection, you would be able to make the usual calls. This is complicated a bit by the use of the "android ADB" transport, which runs everything through the ADB daemon on the device (as opposed to the usual dt_socket which just listens on a TCP socket). I don't know offhand if you can "loop back" through adbd. Now that I've geeked out on what's possible, I'm going to say you shouldn't do this, because having a debugger attached causes the VM to switch to the "debug" interpreter, which runs more slowly. So you're left with filing a feature request for implementation of deprecated API calls, which will be prioritized about where you'd expect. Any chance this can be implemented differently? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
