Um. You should probably sit down and understand the threading going on in your program, and have it to the correct things based on that, rather that using timeouts (with a few seconds!) to work around bugs in it. If you are saying that "calling from the SurfaceView" means you are trying to do your block dialog hack from a callback on SurfaceView, then yes this will deadlock, because you are doing this on the main thread, because all of these callbacks are defined to happen on the thread running the containing window, which for normal windows is the main thread. So just don't do that. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
