Phone breaks when the application gets an interruption

[jjimenez]

Hi everybody!

I wish you can help me with this problem!

I develop an application using J2ME and I tested it on a Nokia N70 and a Nokia 6680 and i get an error when the application gets an interruption (for example a call is comming). When it occurs and the call is finished, the phone breaks (doesn't respond to any key). I think is a problem with eh appPause state of the midlet but i can't find the problem. I also tested the application on a Samsung Z140 and it doesn't breaks.

Maybe is a problem with the Canvas?? setClip() or clipRect() methods of the graphics object??

Help me please!!!

Thanks in advance!

Hi jjimenez,

Are you using Canvas or Form? Are you releasing resources? Note that both devices are Symbian based and you should note that maybe the pauseApp() method is not called. You can check more about that using the link below:

"On Symbian OS the behaviour of the AMS is customisable by the handset manufacturer (licensee) so the circumstances under which the notification methods are called (particularly the pauseApp method) may (and does) vary from device to device."

In summary, it does not work on S60 but does work on UIQ.

Check the doc below for more information.

Hi again!

First of all, thanks for your reply juarezjunior!

I readed the document you mentioned and i tried some new ideas but nothing goes on... Maybe im using a lot of classes or something like this that is overflowing the memory when the AMS puts the midlet in a paused state?

I have seen that the problem is the same in a different project that uses some custom controls that i developed before...the project is smaller than the first one, but continues with the same problem...any idea??

Hi jjimenez,

Hard to figure out by reading your description. Is there any error or exception being thrown? Are you sure there are no locked resources?

Kind regards,

jjimenez,

S60 VM does not call pauseApp at all. If the system or user places the MIDlet in the background, the hideNotify() in Canvas class is called. Form-based applications can query if they are in the foregraound using isShown() method call.
My guess is that your application, what ever it does, exhausts itself during the time of the phone call if you are relying on the pauseApp to be called.
