I noticed the same - Thread.sleep, and also TimerTasks, take 100% of my PC's CPU, and also bring the emulator to its knees. I'd like to run a service in the background that does things every now and then, do you know any workarounds for this issue? :/ It really kills my application... I'm running something only every 2 minutes (confirmed from the logs), but still, the emulator basically hangs whenever Thread.sleep is called (of course I'm not doing that in the main thread, but just as I tried to emulate TimerTasks, since they hanged as well)... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
