Android Question SQLite in Activity_Pause

[mr23]

I have an app that uses KeyValueStore to save as-yet-unsaved values via KeyValueStore.
If I call it in Activity_Pause, it doesn't always complete the storing. It does when called from elsewhere.
I've added Log messages at a few useful points, and added Try/Catch/Log Exception/EndTry.
No clues so far as to why it doesn't always complete the last store, except... in the unfiltered log I find the following when the store & Log() doesn't complete.

Activity pause timeout for ActivityRecord{41bf4838 <apppath>/.main}​

What is the time limit for Activity_Pause ?

What is the code you execute?

Multiple calls to KVS's PutObject. PutInternalObject is manipulating a File per call, not exactly optimized.

I'm just surprised there is a timeout/limit, and that it was silently performed, with loss of data. I looked through the forum including via google and found very little on the timeout. Did I just use poor keywords?

What is the timeout limit?

It shouldn't result in a loss of data. In the worst case it should show an ANR message. Though it will only happen if it is really slow.

It was running in debug (legacy) mode in 3.0, but I've seen it in 2.71 as well.
What is the timeout length ?
By loss of data, I mean that the store operation doesn't complete due to apparently the timeout killing off the process. The next load during app startup shows the old value, so I consider that loss of data.

The ANR dialog appears after 5 seconds (in all cases not just Activity_Pause).

 

[mr23]

ANR dialogs never came up in these instances.
I'm going to move on and chalk it up to debug mode for now.

Erel, would you consider *not* filtering messages containing the b4a application's path, so message such as this one show in the log, even if "Filter" is checked?

The filtering feature is an Android feature. It is based on the log tag.

Do you get any exception (remove the Try / Catch to check it)?

 

[mr23]

A breakpoint in the Catch statement didn't trigger. I didn't try removing the Try/Catch.

 

[Erel]

The debugger will not pause in Activity_Pause.

Can you post the exact code you are executing?
