Hi, I don't really know how to phrase my question as I don't know what the problem is. The symptom is that scheduled background activities are not completed and I want to know why that is and how I can further debug/solve it.
This is happening with NewsRob and the background synchronization that loads articles from Google Reader at a scheduled interval. To debug it I meanwhile created a synthetic sample that shows the behavior too. A Thread is started once an hour, acquires a partial wake lock, logs something, sleeps for 30 minutes and then releases the partial wake lock and logs again. So it should look something like this: 28 04:02: onReceive 28 04:02: In aquire 28 04:32: After release 28 being the day of the month followed by the time and message. Unfortunately it doesn't look like that all the time ;-) (Blank Lines and <comment> added for readability). 28 05:02: onReceive 28 05:02: In aquire 28 05:32: After release 28 06:02: onReceive 28 06:02: In aquire <After release missing> 28 07:02: onReceive 28 07:02: In aquire <After release missing> 28 08:02: onReceive 28 08:02: In aquire <After release missing> 28 09:02: onReceive <In aquire missing> <After release missing> .... So I suspect I do something wrong with the partial wake lock? But what? And even if that is the case what should happen then? Shouldn't it continue to run when a button on the device is pressed? So here is the full sample code: http://pastie.org/403831 And here is the relevant method: public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) { PersistentLog.log("onReceive", context); new Thread(new Runnable(){ public void run() { PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE); PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "SomeTag"); wl.acquire(); PersistentLog.log("In aquire", context); SystemClock.sleep(30 * 60 * 1000); wl.release(); PersistentLog.log("After release", context); } }).start(); } Any ideas? Cheers, Mariano ps. Yes, I've seen the typo. Thanks for not bringing it up ;) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
