Hm... that sounds too invasive to be honest. The Context users are low-level loaders who don't know how to bail out properly. That would probably mean a lot of exception throwing, plus it would leave data in an undefined state if bailing out happens (not sure if this would be a huge problem in this particular situation but it could well be). Come to think of it, I guess I'll have to implement a suspend/resume style signalling between the two threads in onPause() and onDrawFrame(). Technically just a couple of lines of code, but I don't like having that kind of code if I can avoid it, it tends to be subtle and easy to mess up inadvertently in the future. It would be good if this was encapsulated in a platform API. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
