I've recently come across a weird situation using the Android emulator. I started getting the infamous warning 'Something wrong here, didn't expect <package name> to be resumed'.
I have created a most basic Android project to test this. It seems the warning only appears in the emulator, but not on my Samsung Galaxy Android 1.6 device.
Unfortunately, at this time, I have no clue why this happens. I will try to get more info from the forums and post it here.
EDIT: I found the solution, please scroll to the end of the article to see the answer.
My scenario is as follows:
- Create simple Android project
- Sole and simple main activity MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig)
{
Log.d(TAG, "onConfigurationChanged");
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate");
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
protected void onPause()
{
Log.d(TAG, "onPause");
super.onPause();
}
@Override
protected void onResume()
{
Log.d(TAG, "onResume");
super.onResume();
}
String TAG = "ROT";
}
- AndroidManifest.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="test.rotation"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">

- Install on emulator and rotate a few times (Numpad 7)
- Logcat output

- Colored logcat output screen shot
- On each rotation, this message appears: Something wrong here, didn't expect test.rotation to be resumed
- This rotation message does not appear on the Samsung Galaxy Android 1.6 device
- Emulator(Target Name = Android 2.0, Platform = 2.0, API level = 2.0) configuration is as follows in the picture below
- Link to project is here TestRotation.zip (40 KB)
EDIT: The gurus on the Google Android-Developers group have helped me with this issue. It seems there is nothing to worry about. I will copy/paste some answers.
Mark Murphy: The solution appears to be: ignore the message. Other apps, such as the built-in Launcher (home screen), Calculator, Contacts, and Music apps exhibit the same behavior.
Dianne Hackborn: Sorry yes the message is just some code in the system that gets out of sync (and at that point is fixing itself). It is nothing to worry about.
