Alerts interupting menu selection crash on Symbian 9.1/9.2

[casebash]

My Java application displays a password that displays an alert after it times out. In Symbian 9.1/9.2, but not 9.3, if the alert occurs while a user has the menu open to select a command, then the application freezes on the alert. Selecting the okay button does nothing. Are there any workarounds for this?

how excatly are you handling the alert ?

[casebash]

I am using the default handler (the alert is implicitly dismissed)

[symbianyucca]

How are you setting the aler, basically you need to tell the excat methods you are using, and propably show code snippeds on the parts where you are doing it in a code. Also please do not post unneccessary code, since it makes it so much harder to read.

[casebash]

Here is the code as requested

Calling the alert:

	timer.schedule(new TimerTask(){
		public void run(){
			Alert codeExpiry=createAlert("Your current token has expired. Close this alert and a new token will be displayed", AlertType.INFO);
			Display.getDisplay(midlet).setCurrent(codeExpiry);	
		}
	},APPLICATION_TIME_OUT_SECONDS * 1000);

CreateAlert method:

	public static Alert createAlert(String message, AlertType type) {
		Alert msgBox = new Alert("Mi-Token", message, null, type);
		msgBox.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
		return msgBox;
	}

What API is timer ? what API is Alert ? What API is String ?, also you should maybe consider writing wtuff more in C++ style, it usually works better that way.

[casebash]

This is Java

Actually just noticed that this is under "Series 40 & S60 Platform Feedback", so I would then need to to specify on which technology you are working with, and you should in future remember to ask always under the technology used.

Is this the wrong location for a bug report?

[symbianyucca]

I would check by asking in java section to see whether it is bug on your code, or in system first.
