Android App ANR when starting.

Unknown

I have a simple application which runs fine on the PC and Android Gideros simulators. When I build the APK and load it onto my phone (Atrix 4g, 2.3.3) the background displays, but then the ANR prompt comes up. I force close, then can open the app and it works normally? I am only seeing this problem on apps using Multi touch. I built the "Touch Explorer" example with Gideros 2012 and have the same problem. Other examples work fine. Any ideas what is wrong, or how to troubleshoot this? Here are the stack traces at time of ANR

Yes we've caught the ANR issue and it will be fixed with the next version.

The problem is that rendering thread blocks the touch events and if something takes a little bit time longer, ANR dialog appears. On iOS, we are pooling the touch events therefore everything goes smooth. But currently on Android, we aren't. With the next version, we'll also enable pooling for touch events on Android.

Thank you

hey atilim this days a question is in my mind...

the roadmap says that the next version will be out about on Q3 2012
but how do you plan to manage the bug fix?
we need to wait until q3 ?
or you release intermediate versions ?
(ex. 2012.3 or 2012.2 v1 v2 .. etc?)

thanks.
Gianluca.

Hi Gianluca,

Yes we will release many 2012.2.x versions and we try to release as frequently as we can (mostly in 1-2 weeks periods)

GregBUG

Oh thanks atilim for your Clarification!

So for now, Multi-touch for Android is a no-no?

atilim

Not exactly. For example, I haven't seen ANR dialog up to now. -If I had seen it, I would fix it - Also fix is coming soon.

@atilim, Joustin Beaver does it for me on my Acer A100 tablet. I did post about it on the thread for that game. If you've already got it installed, uninstall it, reinstall it and, without fail, it will do it for me on the first run.

Maybe i posted that on the wrong place.
My phone is crazy. Doesnt type what i want. Makes a loud binging noise all the time when battery gets slightly low or if i browse near a restricted area ( server restricts me). I have a tablet n it thinks it is a phone ie same apps that i cannot even kill ie com.android.phone; com.sec.phone, etc. Can anyone help me to understand? By the way, just one 0 at the end of the previous post. One more question: why would i have had an approx dime sized grayish circle in the center of my previous post? Thanxs
