I am experiencing something similar, except on a sporadic basis.
For the most part, my application, on receipt of an ACTION_MEDIA_EJECT
event, is able to close files and return before the reaper arrives to
clean-up. However, sometimes, when the application is writing data to
one of the files, the reaper appears and kills the application before
it has a chance to finish writing and close the file. This results in
data corrupted on the SD card.
Any suggestions for a solution? According to LogCat, it looks like
the reaper is unleashed around 1 second after ACTION_MEDIA_EJECT is
received. Do I have to ensure that all clean-up happens within that
time period? Yikes!
