Force Stop after resume and touching Touchscreen

Hi All,
I have been developing a game for sometime and I hope someone can help me with the following problem I have. The game involves touching the screen, which works fine. When I press back I save the state of the variable required for the game to resume. Upon resume, the game seems to be running fine i.e. the timer gets it's previous state and continues to decrease as expected. The problem arises when the onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) event is triggered. I have removed all code from this function and get the error below when the event is triggered.

Activity blastem (in Application blastem is not responding). I can force close or wait.

The debug from logcat is below. I have am not sure how to fix this issue but guessing it is really simple. I would be grateful if someone can help me.

Thanks in advance,
Karl Evans

Hi Jeremiah,

Thank you for your quick response and for taking the time to reply. I have only had time to test the Force wait point at present and this makes no difference to the Force close issue.
I will spend some time working through the points you raised and the fact that the onTouchEvent is taking too long. I decided to upload the app to my phone and surprisingly I get a different error than the force close on the emulator. The phone presents a Black screen when returning after pressing the back button. I have a feeling that I am not restoring my data correctly, which is causing the onTouchEvent to fail.
I will keep you updated on my progress especially if I manage to resolve the issue.

Thanks again,
Karl
