Although I never found out what caused the problem, I "guarded" my code like this:
if(isOnline()) { // dangerous code here ... } else { // handle showing a message ... } and this is the isOnline method: private boolean isOnline() { ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE); return cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() == null ? false : cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected(); } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
