There are no limits on a background service once it is running.

Hi,
since Cupcake our application became very unstable. It often dies and
users have to restart it manually. The log shows that it was killed
due to a timeout, something like this:
code
W/ActivityManager( 56): Timeout of broadcast BroadcastRecord
{434824c8 android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED} -
receiver=android.os.binderpr...@434ba458
W/ActivityManager( 56): Receiver during timeout: ResolveInfo

I/Process ( 56): Sending signal. PID: 4702 SIG: 9
I/ActivityManager( 56): Process com.websafety.android.client (pid
4702) has died.
/code
Previously it was working all fine. It also works fine on Emulator.
But it is extremely slow on HTC Magic. We found that sometimes it does
take some time to respond to some requests (such as the broadcast
above for Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED), while in other cases (for example,
we have a background Service which starts on BOOT_COMPLETED) it seems
the problem is not in our code. Previously, it was taking only 5
second for the service to start, while now it takes 15 seconds - the
same application, on the new Cupcake phone. I tried converting the
service onStart into a simple new Thread().start() - and guess what,
that gets killed as well before it reaches my first line of code. For
the cases when our code is slow it became much slower with Cupcake
(or is it HTC Magic?).
I guess I have two questions to Google, but if someone has workarounds
or similar experience please speak up:
1. Why is Cupcake so slow?
2. Can you document the expected time limits within which some
methods, either event listeners or overridden, should return before
they are considered timed out? We don't mind updating the application
by making sure we do respect those limits, but not knowing them costs
us too much money as we are discovering them through customer support
calls. The example methods which I suspect do have those limits are
Service.onStart, ContentObserver.onChange to name a few.
Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Application gets killed due to a timeout
Perhaps this will give more information: I use BOOT_COMPLETED
BroadcastReceived, which starts the service. It takes 5-6 second to
start the service from the receiver on the real device, and less than
a second on emulator:
Device:
Sat Jul 04 00:00:26 GMT+10:00 2009 4 Received intent: Intent
{ action=android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED comp=
{com.websafety.android.client/
com.websafety.android.client.WebSafetyReceiver} }
Sat Jul 04 00:00:30 GMT+10:00 2009 4 Boot completed, registered: true
Sat Jul 04 00:00:32 GMT+10:00 2009 4 WebSafety service has started
Another one:
Fri Jul 03 22:15:44 GMT+10:00 2009 4 Received intent: Intent
{ action=android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED comp=
{com.websafety.android.client/
com.websafety.android.client.WebSafetyReceiver} }
Fri Jul 03 22:15:47 GMT+10:00 2009 4 Boot completed, registered: true
Fri Jul 03 22:15:49 GMT+10:00 2009 4 WebSafety service has started
Emulator:
07-07 23:21:40.469: INFO/WebSafety.Receiver(678): Received intent:
Intent { action=android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED comp=
{com.websafety.android.client/
com.websafety.android.client.WebSafetyReceiver} }
07-07 23:21:40.589: INFO/WebSafety.Receiver(678): Boot completed,
registered: true
07-07 23:21:40.779: INFO/WebSafety.Service(678): WebSafety service has
started
Since BOOT_COMPLETED is a BroadcastReceiver, if the service doesn't
get created fast enough - might the receiver get killed (together with
the whole process)?
And I wonder if the reason for loading the service so slowly could be
something to do with memory access, similar to this post:

[android-developers] Re: Help: thread stuck with error still suspended after undo (s=1 d=1)
Thanks for the reply. I don't have the broken APK, I fixed it yesterday. If I remember correctly, it had something to do with Cursor.getLong being invoked after the Cursor has been closed. Or may be with ContentResolver.delete in the middle of traversal by Cursor. I couldn't realize - I just rewrote the function in a different manner and it worked fine.

[android-developers] Content observers for SMS mailboxes
Hi, I've spent several days trying to figure out how to listen for sent SMS. One thing that I tried is content observers on content://sms/sent. That didn't work. Then I tried content://sms/inbox. That didn't work either. In my scenarios, I was doing two things: - sending SMS to emulator using telnet sms send some number some text. This generates notification in the notification area, and you can read the sms later, but content observer on content://sms/inbox is not invoked - sending SMS from one emulator to another. I had one on 5554, another on 5556. I had content observers on both on content://sms/inbox and content://sms/sent and I was sending sms from 5554 to 5556 using sendTextMessage(5556, null, ...). I saw SMS being received by 5556, there was notification and I could read the SMS on 5556. None of the observers were invoked. So now I start wondering if content observers are at all support for SMS content provider? The same content observers, when installed on content://contacts/people, are invoked fine when I add a new contact, so I know I'm using the right API and use it correctly. Any clues? Anyone has any examples of listening on these content providers? Or listening on different content providers which do give you information about sent SMS? Thanks.
