Understanding a DDMS Log

Question

Can someone please explain how to understand a logcat from an android force close.

This crash occurs when I called finish() in the onPause().

Here is the DDMS screenshot http://www.2ql.net/uploads/1245827534.png

Thanks.

Answer 1

The exception is SuperNotCalledException. This occurs when, in various callbacks, you do not chain upward to the superclass. onPause() is one of those callbacks.

So, if your onPause() looks like:

@Override
public void onPause() {
  finish();
}

that would raise this exception. It should look like:

@Override
public void onPause() {
  super.onPause();
  finish();
}
