Thanks for the reply.
I'm pretty sure the unregister/removeUpdate are getting called
successfully, because if they weren't I would get an exception next
time they are registered/requested (I found out because I commented
out the calls and got this when they were registered/requested again
in onResume.)
Most typically, after I close the app with either the Android Home
button or Back button, about 7 seconds later I get the "broadcast
null" exception. I believe that is after the onDestroy gets called.
I used to unregister in onFreeze (and register in onResume), and that
would get the exception right when the app went away instead of after
a delay.
Yes, my machine is on the slow side. It's strong enough to run Vista,
bet it is near the bottom of the requirements.
I've really spent some time trying to get to the bottom of this and
have followed the other threads on this. I learned a lot about how
this works in the thread you mentioned... It was invaluable. But I
still have problems. I was suspecting that there was something fishy,
so I tried to be extra certain by, for example, creating the variable
"private static final String LOCATION_CHANGED_ACTION = new
String("android.intent.action.LOCATION_CHANGED")" to make certain they
are calling the respective register/request/unregister with the same
value... to no avail.
