[mono-android] Calling OnStart causes ForceClose

[www at gencode.com]

Jon,

 

I am not sure how to get the "`adb logcat` output "

 

Is this it?

 

virtual void WebCore::Widget::show()

virtual void WebCore::Widget::show()

static bool WebCore::ResourceHandle::supportsBufferedData()

virtual void WebCore::Widget::show()

static bool WebCore::ResourceHandle::supportsBufferedData()

static bool WebCore::ResourceHandle::supportsBufferedData()

 

 

The error is

The application (app name) has stopped unexpectedly, please try again.

 

Here's the code, note if I comment out the OnStart the error goes away.

 

   [Activity(Label = "My Activity")]

    public class WarningsActivity : Activity

    {

        protected override void OnStart()

        {

        }

 

        protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)

        {

            base.OnCreate(bundle);

        }

    }

Please provide the `adb logcat` output.

 

Now, by "force close" do you mean the "Application Not Responding" dialog,
which asks you whether you want to Wait or Force Close?

Again, please provide the `adb logcat` output.

 

I suspect that the problem is that you're doing the webservice call on the
main thread. If e.g. OnCreate() or OnStart() take too long to execute (iirc
~5s), then the Application Not Responding dialog is shown. Te only way to
avoid this is to spawn another thread to do the webservice call (allowing
the main thread to return), and have the new thread perform the webservice
call then use Activity.RunOnUiThread() to update the UI.
