We’re seeing a number of TimeoutExceptions in GcWatcher.finalize, BinderProxy.finalize, and PlainSocketImpl.finalize. 90+% of them happen on Android 4.3. We’re getting reports of this from Crittercism from users out in the field.
The error is a variation of: “com.android.internal.BinderInternal$GcWatcher.finalize() timed out after 10 seconds“
java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: android.os.BinderProxy.finalize() timed out after 10 seconds
at android.os.BinderProxy.destroy(Native Method)
at android.os.BinderProxy.finalize(Binder.java:459)
at java.lang.Daemons$FinalizerDaemon.doFinalize(Daemons.java:187)
at java.lang.Daemons$FinalizerDaemon.run(Daemons.java:170)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:841)
So far we haven’t had any luck reproducing the problem in house or figuring out what might have caused it.
Any ideas what can cause this?
Any idea how to debug this and find out which part of the app causes this?
Anything that sheds light on the issue helps.
