I have an app that keeps getting ANR in one specific component, and I cannot figure out what is hogging the cpu time. Lately I've been getting two kinds of ANR, a native and a wait.

Any ideas? I have moved operations to new threads, and maybe I am not calling join(); on them.
Thanks for any help.
Based on the logs, the only reason I can think of that could have triggered an ANR is:
As far as i know, usually in Java every thread is associated with 2 components. One being Program counter and the other being Garbage Collector. So every thread will have a gc monitor happening throughout.
at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method) - waiting on <0x4001d950> (a java.lang.VMThread)
VMThreads are ideally used to handle this aspect of monitoring gc, almost parallelly. So what i could think of, for your scenario, is SurfaceViewis trying to acquire a lock but is unable to because VMThread is holding the lock, unreleased yet (may be due to some major GC op), thus waiting for vmthread to release the lock.
You might want to check your main log dump which has gc activities logged, that might give you a better picture as to why gc was hogging this threads CPU time so much and then app profiling may help. Jus check.
In here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/design/responsiveness.html
ANR is when the main thread is blocking on something, so long operation is always advised to do it in the child thread:
TO QUOTE:
I understand it is not easy, but the recommendation from above is that UI should be done not in the main thread.
On the other hand, you main thread is in "WAIT" state, meaning non-async operation is used. Perhaps u want to try the async option - which should result in TIMED_WAIT state, as in the following:
Android - how do I investigate an ANR?
(whose main thread is ok).
But like discussed here:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-ndk/browse_thread/thread/84d6a9be21f4e579/b83537161b96da82?q=%22Bitmap+creation+and+composition+in+native+code%22#b83537161b96da82
your problem I suspect is because bitmap painting takes too long between lockCanvas() and unlockCanvas() - perhaps you might want to break the bitmap update into smaller pieces? And within the same discussion is also mentioned use of JNI/NDK to do the bitmap calculation - which should not be done inside the Java-based bitmap update method - if it takes too long to do the calculation.

Thanks.
