Android - Forcing ANR for testing purpose

Question

Why i can\'t force Android ANR with this code? No log messages or pop up. The application is just launched lazily.

[UPDATE]

I can\'t get it even sleeping a V

Answer 1

I've been facing the same issue yesterday, and I've found out that using a plain debug build ANR dialogs simply won't show up. (Although the UI thread was completely hanged.)

But after exporting and properly signing the application the dialogs were popped up properly (in every cases mentioned above). However I am still not sure what really prevents to pop up ANR messages, maybe someone else can clarify this later...
