Hi all, I'm using a helper thread to post data back to a web site. What I notice is that I'm getting an Application Not Responding back in the main thread even though it's not doing anything other than interrupting the helper thread to wake up. If the amount of data in the post is small (~ couple hundred bytes), I don't have a problem, but when it gets moderately large (~ 10kb) it reliably stalls the main UI thread and gets (appropriately) an ANR. Even weirder is that if I time from when I start the post to when it receives the entire reply (ie, using Date().getTime()) in the helper thread, it shows that it's only taking about .5 seconds to complete, even though it takes ~10 seconds to become responsive again.
This *only* seems to be the case writing the post data. If I do a post of a small amount of data with a large amount of data coming back from a web site, the app remains responsive and unlike the above problem, the timing numbers in the thread agree with how long it actually took. FWIW, I'm using HttpURLConnection to create and read/write the data, and I'm aware that I need to use Handler to affect the UI from the helper thread. Also: this is on the G1 hardware. I've also fiddled with priorities, etc, to no avail, so I'm pretty stumped as to why the helper thread is interacting with the UI thread.
