Hello, We have a problem in our app that happens very rarely - but I have witnessed it several times, on several devices and once on the Emulator. We currently do not know a way to reproduce it. It goes like this: you use the app normally, you click on an item or a button that starts an Activity (it seems it can happen anywhere in the app, and not in one specific Activity). => The Activity, instead of being started normally, seems to be started "in a loop", thus producing a nice blinking/stroboscopic effect.
Exciting the app by pressing back several times, solves the problem: if we then relaunch it, the problem won't be there and then we usually won't see the problem for a few weeks/months. Hence the "Blinking Activity of Death" nickname... Reading the logs, it looks like onStart() and onResume() are normally called, again and again. The only warning I see in the logs is this: INFO/UsageStats(102): Unexpected resume of <myapp> while already resumed in <myapp> Googling a bit about this (and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3851363/what-is-going-on-with-the-unexpected-resume-of-packagename-while-already-resum) didn't help. The "Starting activity" and "Displayed activity" bits are logged only once. I checked to be sure our startActivity or startActivityForResult calls are not in any sort of loops. Any idea on what could produce such behavior? Thanks a lot for your help. -- BoD -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
