    <p>I am writing an android (2.2) app which launches the default native web browser via a new Intent to a page I've created. On that page, it pauses for 2 seconds before then submitting a form, which redirects the user to another page.</p> <p>I am using javascript's setTimeout() function.</p> <p>It works most of the time, but then sometimes it just stops working, and won't work again until I restart the phone!</p> <p>There are NO javascript errors which appear in LogCat.</p> <p>Even stranger, to counteract this I put a link on the page that says "If the page has not redirected in 5 seconds click here". It submits the form when clicked, via onClick() and .submit(). Well, again, it usually works, but, when the setTimeout() function stops working, so does the link! But, I have confirmed that alert() still works, so some javascript functions apparently still work.</p> <p>Any ideas why setTimeout() and .submit() would just randomly stop working, until the phone is reset?</p> <p>EDIT: I've also confirmed that window.location doesn't work anymore either, but, if you just have a regular link, it does actually let you click on it, and it leaves the page.</p> <p>EDIT: It appears that you can get this problem to happen more quickly if you hit STOP and REFRESH a few times while waiting for the setTimeout to fire off. Basically if I hit stop, then refresh, then stop, then back, etc, a couple times, I can get this problem to happen. After it starts, no amount of refreshing or killing/restarting the browser will make these javascript functions start working again.</p> <p>Thanks! Richard</p>

    1. COPerhaps you're getting JavaScript errors?

    2. COI edited my original post to say that no, there are no javascript errors which appear in LogCat. And even still, why would it work for a while when the phone first turns on?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
