Problem using Swarm for android

superflyninja

Hi,
I have a game out that worked perfectly,no bugs. I decided to implement Swarm for leaderboards and it works just dandy for me.But for a lot of others(possibly running ICS and up) it freezes on boot of the app. I did wrap the call to Swarm.init in a runnable to see if that made a difference. The error from google play is
ANR keyDispatchingTimedOut in SwarmMainActivity

Anyone any experience of similar?

Whats the full error trace? An ANR means your blocking the Main thread for more than 5 seconds, I haven't used Swarm so what exactly are you doing around the error? Have you tried using an AsyncTask if it is a long running network operation?

Well it points roughly to the oncreate method of my activity( i only have one). The gist of it is that Swarm initialises,so it logs the user in or shows the register screen if there is no saved info. Then the game launches. Im not all that familiar(ie not familiar at all) with running an asynch thread. It would just be the one statement Id need to run in that manner id say.... The full trace is

SwarmConnect

Hey superflyninja!

Matt here. I'm a developer from Swarm (aka SwarmConnect), and I realize it might be a bit late to answer the question. but better late than never, right? We recently launched a new version of the Swarm SDK which should help to resolve the issues you're seeing. If you don't want to upgrade to the latest version you can try moving the call to Swarm.init() to the end of onResume() instead of putting it up in onCreate(). Please send an email to support[at]swarmconnect(dot)com if there's anything else we can do to help .
