[android-developers] Re: Application onCreate called more than once?

2012-11-12 Thread Streets Of Boston 
The onCreate of an Application (subclass) is called exactly *once *for each 
instance of a DalvikVM. 

If Android kills your app's process, it stops the DalvikVM instance as 
well. There is no way to 'hold on' to any reference, since you DalvikVM 
instance that was running your app no longer exists.

Your app can, however, use more than one process. I don't know if the ACRA 
code runs in its own process and not liking being used by two or more 
processes running the same package (your app).  

More info is needed to figure this one out.

2012-11-12 Thread Craig 
Thanks - I read that post; it seems to be stuck in the same place I am. 

I suspect a memory leak that is keeping some app state alive across app 
shutdown and restart, and what I'd really like is some easy way to analyze 
what memory isn't being reclaimed when Android closes my app.

ACRA keeps track of initialization using a static variable, so with
multiple processes
this should not happen. I've seen this too in error reports, still no
idea why it happens.
Here's a related issue:

Post your manifest.xml. I assume that you have your broadcastreceiver or 
some service running in a separate process. That would cause 
Application.onCreate to be called multiple times.

My process getting killed should not be an issue, as long as it dies. I'm 
scheduling alarms to start it up at different times - the issue I seem to 
be having is that multiple instances of my process run at the same time...

The onCreate.. method of the class extending Application is called only 
once unless the process gets killed somehow and restarted. You can 
investigate for any reason(s) of your process getting killed.

Instead of starting the service on onCreate(), you need to do the following
things.

1. start the service onPause.

2. check if service is not started.

No, no remote services. This doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes,
and I haven't been able to reproduce it on my devices.
