it gets stranger. In Honeycomb and earlier the app fires off the getAuthToken() request on another thread and then goes into onPause() whilst it waits for the authentication to happen asynchronously.
In Ice Cream Sandwich the app goes into onPause(), then onStop() then onDestroy(). Then the app fires up an onCreate() again and launches a second authentication thread before the first has completed. I guess the lifecycle does stipulate that the activity should always be prepared to recreate itself cleanly in case the system destroys it - maybe ICS is more aggressive in doing that than previous versions of Android...any comments or experiences from anyone else? Also, I suppose I now need to look at SingleThreadExecutor to block unwanted additional auth requests being generated from the activity. Does anyone have any better ideas? all the best, Nick On Jan 2, 11:16 am, Spiral123 <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all.... > > Just got my new Galaxy Nexus phone with ICS before New Years and have > been playing around with the old and new (in development) versions of > my app on it. > > Whilst doing so, I've come across a problem that has me stumped: if I > call getAuthToken() in my app to authenticate a new account to my > Google API of choice and approve the request then everything works > fine.
