Hi
I'm having a weird issue using the TPF.
In my main activity, in the OnCreate method I'm trying to initialize network
connectivity (which potentially could take a while - I need to check if one
of two addresses is reachable).
So, within OnCreate, I start a new task (for simplicity's sake I do nothing
with the return value for now)
Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
{
bool initialized = Controller.Instance.Initialize();
});
Controller.Instance is a singleton which gets initialized upon startup,
using the standard singleton approach
public static Controller Instance
{
get
{
if (myController == null)
{
Log.Info(MainActivity.AppId, "Controller not yet
instantiated");
lock (syncRoot)
{
if (myController == null)
{
Log.Info(MainActivity.AppId, "Instantiating
controller");
myController = new Controller();
}
}
}
return myController;
}
}
Now, if I run this code, it gets as far as the second Log.Info string, then
... nothing. No errors, no exceptions, no nothing whatsoever. If I step
through the code and press F11 on the "myController = new Controller()"
line, it jumps to the end of the file.
If I run the same code within the GUI thread
bool initialized = Controller.Instance.Initialize();
Then, things work as they should.
How can I figure out a) what is going on here, b) how to counteract it?
Thanks
Stephan
