Exception sending message to a Handler on a dead thread in SycnHttpClient

[ramashishb]

Hi,

I am using SyncHttpClient to make synchronous requests from an IntentService. Here is the sample code-

SyncHttpClient syncClient  = new SyncHttpClient();
// other initialization like JsonHttpResponseHandler
syncClient.get(url, parameters, responseHandler);

After making the request, I expect the onSuccess or onFailure to be called. Instead, I get the following exception-

java.lang.RuntimeException: Handler (com.loopj.android.http.AsyncHttpResponseHandler$ResponderHandler) {53554578} sending message to a Handler on a dead thread
        at android.os.MessageQueue.enqueueMessage(MessageQueue.java:294)
        at android.os.Handler.sendMessageAtTime(Handler.java:473)
        at android.os.Handler.sendMessageDelayed(Handler.java:446)
        at android.os.Handler.post(Handler.java:263)
        at com.loopj.android.http.AsyncHttpResponseHandler.postRunnable(AsyncHttpResponseHandler.java:412)
        at com.loopj.android.http.JsonHttpResponseHandler$1.run(JsonHttpResponseHandler.java:153)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:856)

What's the correct way to make synchronous requests?

This is already fixed, I've also added example of SyncHttpClient, see: https://github.com/loopj/android-async-http/blob/master/sample/src/main/java/com/loopj/android/http/sample/SynchronousClientSample.java

Not IntentService, but it is not different, for Service
