Re: [android-developers] dns failing in broadcast receivers?

2010-03-17 Thread Jason Proctor 
yes -- i think it will just gradually fix itself. but it was mighty 
inconvenient when working code just suddenly started breaking in time 
for a big demo yesterday.




No idea - it the problem has only started manifesting itself since 
DST - then it's likely to be the cause.


But it's something that's easy to test.  Ensure the devices clocks 
are current & accurate.

Re: [android-developers] dns failing in broadcast receivers?

2010-03-17 Thread Jason Proctor 
thanks for the response. what "times" would i ensure are in sync? i 
thought that phones these days managed their own times.


also, i'm really confused about why this would affect only DNS 
requests made by broadcast receivers. wouldn't a timing issue affect 
all DNS requests? unless... the UI libraries do some fixups [fx: barf]


i wonder whether this has anything to do with the Android kernel 
being 18 months out of date (IIRC) and the DST change coming in only 
*last* year.


baffled of SF!



Check that times are sync'd - I've seen some issues before where 
out-of-sync clocks caused DNS errors.

something weird just started happening. my app has a broadcast 
receiver which may access the network when invoked. the code has 
been solid for ages, but in the last few days it has started getting 
DNS errors on perfectly fine hosts. these are hosts which can be 
reached without problems in the main app or from other apps.


interestingly i've seen another app get DNS errors too -- another 
app with a broadcast receiver.


seems to affect all OS versions -- we have 1.5, 1.6, and 2.01 here. 
i don't have a Nexus to test 2.1, though.


are there caveats to doing network inside broadcast receivers? i 
didn't think so, as ours worked fine until the time change [fx: 
twilight zone theme]


thanks for any guidance with this one!
