Hi,

I have wrote some code to check whether the radio is active, if it is not then it activates the radio. I store this code in a static class and call it before trying to hit a web service to save the call timing out.

The problem that i am having is that the app hangs when i call the code and turn on the Radio, but it doesn't hang if i show a Dialog.Alert(); message. I'm wondering if this has something to do with execution on current Thread stopping and when i call Dialog.Alert it makes Ui thread active???

Code:
[code]
//This is in class extending MainScreen
if (Functions.checkConnection()) {
//Create thread to call web service
}

//This is in Functions Class
public final class Functions {
public static boolean checkConnection() {
if (RadioInfo.getState() == RadioInfo.STATE_OFF) {
Application.getApplication().invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Radio.activateWAFs(RadioInfo.WAF_3GPP);
}});
Dialog.alert("ON");//If this line is in works fine, if not then times out.
}
}
}
[code]
Thanks in advance

you have to synchronize on the event thread (or use invokelater) to show a dialog (or for any other ui interaction)

Thanks simon but why would showing a Dialog in the above code make the code run through successfully but if i don't show a Dialog it hangs?

[FerminRomeroDeTorres]

I've narrowed the problem down, if i remove Radio.activateWAFs(RadioInfo.WAF_3GPP); the code works every time, the thread seems to hang on this line.

Any ideas why this would be happening?

[simon.hain]

i guess the method blocks, you should try to run it threaded

Thanks Simon, I've finally solved it. I removed the invokeAndWait(); and added a Thread.sleep(100); to switch context to other active threads.
