Hi again,
Our service is still crashing for some reason not related to our
application. To make sure it's not RunTime exception we've used a :
try
{
// Get WakeLock
// Perform actions
}
catch (Throwable t)
{
// log error (if any)
}
finally
{
// Schedule a new service startup and PendingIntent an AlarmManager
long tick = 60000L;
long nextUpdate = System.currentTimeMillis();
nextUpdate += (tick - nextUpdate % tick);
Intent updateIntent = new Intent();
updateIntent.setClass(this, RefreshService.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0,
updateIntent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService
(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC, nextUpdate, pendingIntent);
// Release WakeLock
...
}
stopSelf();
The service is still crashing randomly on real device (Android 1.6/HTC
Magic) and it does not restart. It's not a problem of Taskiller
because it is not installed.
Here are the logs:
