B4J Question What does this error mean - InterruptedException: sleep ...

[Mark Read]

My app is nearly finished. I am testing on a windows PC with a serial loopback plug (pins 2 & 3 shorted).

If I click connect, I see the connection but if I click connect (disconnect) again, I get this message. The app continues to work but I dont understand the error.

Connect button code:

Sub btn_Connect_MouseClicked (EventData As MouseEvent)
    If ComPortOpen=False Then
        ComPortOpen=True
        myserial.Initialize("")
        uart_list = myserial.ListPorts
        myserial.Open(uart_list.Get(0))
        myserial.SetParams(9600,8,1,0)
        btn_Connect.Text="Disconnect"
        lbl_Connected.Style="-fx-background-color: green"
        astream.Initialize(myserial.GetInputStream,myserial.GetOutputStream,"astream")
        Log("Com Port Initialized:" & uart_list.Get(0))
        Log("I have sent: <STX>Q, 229, 002.74, M, 00, <ETX> 16")
        astream.Write("<STX>Q, 229, 002.74, M, 00, <ETX> 16".GetBytes("UTF8"))
    Else
        ComPortOpen=False
        myserial.Close
        btn_Connect.Text="Connect"
        lbl_Connected.Style="-fx-background-color: red"
        astream.Close
    End If
End Sub

Sub astream_NewData (Buffer() As Byte)
  rcvStr = BytesToString(Buffer, 0, Buffer.Length, "UTF8")
  sndStr = "I have received " & rcvStr & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
  Log(sndStr)
  'astream.Write(sndStr.GetBytes("UTF8"))
End Sub

And the log info:

Close AsyncStreams before you close the serial connection.

 

[Mark Read]

Close AsyncStreams before you close the serial connection.

Else
        ComPortOpen=False
        astream.Close
        myserial.Close
        btn_Connect.Text="Connect"
        lbl_Connected.Style="-fx-background-color: red"
        
    End If

Moved astream.close to before myserial.close but it makes no difference, error is still there. It cannot be critical as the app works?

You can ignore it. It happens because the serial is closed while an internal thread is waiting for data. Your code is fine.
