ANR keyDispatchingTimedOut

[ilkrkls]

Hello,

I have created my first app, named "fingerbilliards" on the market.
It is a 3 ball billiards game, and I am trying to improve it.

The problem is; ANR keyDispatchingTimedOut errors. There are very few reports from the market about it, but I do encounter this problem in my own device also.

You hit the balls with your finger, the balls hit each other and the cushions, and some time later they stop. It runs smooth and there is no problem.

After some minutes, you hit the ball, the ball starts to move, and suddenly the phone hangs.
Later a "force close" dialogue appears.

All about the game is processed in the same activity. The speed of the finger to shoot the ball is calculated within touch down-move-up events. No problem about this part I guess.

After the ball is shot, the timer tick event begins. The moves of the balls are calculated and drawn in the timer event. When the speed of all the balls are zero, the timer is disabled.

App Not Responding happens during the timer_tick, when the first ball is on the move.
The interval of the timer is 4 ms since the game loses smoothness at higher intervals.

So, I guess the system cannot handle other calls during timer event.
I tried to put doevents line, but that did not help.

Can you help me with suggestions?
Maybe I can use threading library, but I do not know how to timer sub within threading sub. Or if I make the calculations in a code module, will that prevent the main activity from being freezed?

Thank you

ilker

Can you post Timer1_Tick code?
Also check the java code under Objects\src and find line number 1529 (use an editor such as Notepad++). The comment above this line will tell you the B4A line.

 

[ilkrkls]

line 1527-1531 of main02.java is;


while (_vvv7-_vv7<_vv0) {
//BA.debugLineNum = 738;BA.debugLine="merkezbeyazx=merkezbeyazx+(CosD(acibeyaz)*hizbeyaz*xspeed/8)";
_vvv7 = (float)(_vvv7+(anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common.CosD(_vvvvvvv3)*_vvvvvvv2*_v5/(double)8));
}
;

Timer1_Tick code is too long to be posted I guess...
But it handles all the calculations + draws the panels.

[ilkrkls]

well I have to leave my computer now.
I will write again later.

thank you Erel

 

[Erel]

I guess that the problem is in this While block. It probably never ends (or takes too long to end).

 

[ilkrkls]

there are mostly if-then blocks.
do-while blocks are only when the balls hit each other, and should not take too long.
moreover, the code runs smooth. I cannot predict when it freezes.

may I send you the project via email?

 

[Erel]

I'm sorry but I don't have the time to privately go over your project.

The problem is most likely in this code:

while (_vvv7-_vv7<_vv0) {
//BA.debugLineNum = 738;BA.debugLine="merkezbeyazx=merkezbeyazx+(CosD( acibeyaz)*hizbeyaz*xspeed/8)";
_vvv7 = (float)(_vvv7+(anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Commo n.CosD(_vvvvvvv3)*_vvvvvvv2*_v5/(double)8));
}

 

[ilkrkls]

ok, I will check it.
thank you Erel

 

[ilkrkls]

ok, I added a count variable and exit inside the do-while loops.
I hope there will be no more freezes.

So, basically
Can we say that the operations inside the timer_tick loop do not freeze the phone (if there are no while loops and errors, only mathematical calculations)?

 

[Erel]

Timer itself cannot freeze the phone. Even if you set the interval to 1ms.

 

[ilkrkls]

Ok, then it is about the do-while loops.
Thank you very much Erel for your help
