Anr is not being detected sometimes

[zeeshanalisayyed]

I have an app, I made the app to cause the ANR by following code on tap of a button:

int i = 0;
while(true){
    i++; // this will cause anr
}

The above code causes the ANR, app also shows the anr dialog (basically, app not responding, wait or close the app), but the problem is ANRWatchDog isn't able to detect the anr sometimes, sometimes it does.

Please have a look at the above issue reported and let me know.

Thanks!

I've updated the demo app to demo infinite loop.
I've tried 10 times in the emulator, and the ANR has been caught by the lib every single time.
I have no freaking idea how to replicate what you are describing.

@zeeshanalisayyed Are you sometimes running with the debugger attached and sometimes not?

@SalomonBrys have you tested the above scenario on a real device, can you please test it, the issue is still there!
