In Android, is it safe to call Activity.finish()
from a background thread, or can it only called from the main thread? The documentation doesn\'t mention anything a
No, it is not.
The code uses at least one variable, mFinished, without synchronization. Full stop.
public void finish() {
if (mParent == null) {
int resultCode;
Intent resultData;
synchronized (this) {
resultCode = mResultCode;
resultData = mResultData;
}
if (false) Log.v(TAG, "Finishing self: token=" + mToken);
try {
if (resultData != null) {
resultData.setAllowFds(false);
}
if (ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()
.finishActivity(mToken, resultCode, resultData)) {
mFinished = true;
}
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// Empty
}
} else {
mParent.finishFromChild(this);
}
}
