Hey...I had a similar issue that I just fixed today, and this information might help.
I had code I was using all over the place that would be downloading data and images with a single HttpClient and everything was fine. When I moved this code over to a project that was downloading a bunch of images in a row, sometimes it would hit a point where it would block almost exactly as you're describing. I did a ton of troubleshooting with my HttpClient instance, the HttpParams, moving from AsyncTask to a single background thread running in serial, etc. I took a step back and started using a single AndroidHttpClient per-request and closing it after I was done downloading the stream and decoding the bitmap. No more blocking. The issue is that the HttpClient will clean itself up, but sometimes not in time and the next request would come in and cause a deadlock. If you're not explicitly cleaning up the HttpClient (AndroidHttpClient.close), give it a try. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
