I'm using GreenDAO for database handling in Android. When performing many database changes (> 15.000) I get this error Message:
The connection pool for database '/data/data/...' has been unable to grant a connection to thread 312 (Thread-312) with flags 0x1 for 30.000002 seconds.
Everything gets stuck. Why does this error happen?
I can't say for sure about this particular implementation, but there is a connectionpool usually backing a ORM. The connection pool opens a set number of connections to the database and recycles them as you close them and open new connections. What that error is telling you is that it probably hit a limit. That can happen for a large variety of reasons, one is that possibly there is some deadlock in the DB because you are updating two tables and two different transactions are holding different tables waiting for the other to release. Or simply that there are just too many open connections and the DB or connection pool just gets confused.
Sorry that is not really an answer, but you are going to need to look at the docs for GreenDAO to see how this might happen.
