首页 > 解决方案 > Android Kotlin coroutine crashing on strict mode

问题描述

I have created a very simplified version of my issue below.
The strict mode is set up with the following policies:

   StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(
            StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
                .detectDiskReads()
                .detectDiskWrites()
                .detectNetwork()   // or .detectAll() for all detectable problems
                .penaltyLog()
                .penaltyDeath()
                .build()
        )

The view model has only one function which crashes the application when invoked. The function does nothing (it has an empty body)

class MyViewModel : ViewModel() {
    fun foo() {
        viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO){  }
    }
}

The activity invokes viewModel.foo() in onCreate which crashes the application with the following trace.

According to the stack trace there is a disk read violation but nothing in that code should be accessing disk.
The lines of interest are:

   at com.example.myapplication.MyViewModel.foo(MainActivity.kt:35)
        at com.example.myapplication.MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.kt:28)

line 35: viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO){ }

line 28: viewModel.foo()

Further more if I remove penaltyLog() then the application does not crash.

So my question(s):

How can I prevent the crash with the strict mode configurations above?

Is the problem with coroutine or strict mode itself?

Update: This seems to be a known issue with coroutines. Still unresolved - see the conversation here

The solution is to use your own dispatcher that you initialize without doing I/O on the main thread.

It's a bit tricky to implement because to avoid slowing down your app because of vsync enabled by default on Handler (could delay by up to 16ms code that doesn't need vsync at all), you have to use an API 28+ constructor, and use reflection for older versions of Android. After doing that, you can use the asCoroutineDispatcher() extension function for Handler, and use the resulting dispatcher.

To make it simpler for me, and others, I made a (small) library that provides a Dispatchers.MainAndroid extension that is lazily initialized without any I/O and can be used in place of Dispatchers.Main. It also integrated Lifecycle with coroutine scopes.

Here's the link where you can see how to get the dependency (available on jcenter) and how it is implemented: https://github.com/LouisCAD/Splitties/tree/master/modules/lifecycle-coroutines
