Force Close window in the morning

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Alarm window force-closes in the morning.
Investigation needed: due to error or being non-responsive.

I'm going to update the code with latest changes from Android 2.1 alarm 
application regarding Alarm Screen

I am also getting this on the HTC Magic. Sometimes the slider gets half-way 
across 
and then the phone does a Not responding: Force Close or Wait.

I find the best thing to do is Force Close. The application still runs, and it 
waits until 
the last possible wake up time and then sounds the alarm again. At which point 
i can 
slide it and everything returns to normal, including the airplane mode being 
switched 
off.

So it's still workable, and i really appreciate it even just for the movement 
graphs; i 
find them fascinating. I'm going to experiment with different preferences in 
the Smart 
Alarm Clock and see if there is a particular preference that causes the Force 
Close to 
happen.

I have the same effect on my Magic 1.6. Alarm can not be switched off. Force 
closed 
necessary. When there is a solution for this?

This problem still occurs, though there is different behaviour now. Originally 
the
behaviour was as aimeedaniells describes, which was more annoying but yes still
functional.

Now the behaviour is it takes longer to force close and then the whole 
application
crashes causing the message "You missed your alarm, could be because of force 
close
or ended by task manager etc" to appears in the notifications area. It was more
functional before.

I am running Android 1.6 on a HTC Magic

Since my last post there was one update that removes the slider bar and changes 
to a 
Dismiss button. I experience the same behavior previously, as the button is 
just as 
unresponsive as the slider was.

Could this have something to do with the way the Activity is launched? When you 
test 
the settings from the options it works fine (even the slider was fine) but when 
the 
alarm actually triggers there is a problem. Could it have something to do with 
the 
movement tracking? What are you doing in terms of threads? Is the alarm in the 
morning on its own thread?

If you would like any debugging assistance I am more than happy to help.
