Re: [android-developers] Re: Scheduling ideas

If your device switches off the networking connection while sleeping,
then yes, that line can throw an exception.

It should be an IOException, which should go into the log, but since it
doesn't seem to be - add a catch block for Exception (or even better,
Throwable) and log it, see what happens.

You could also log the current connectivity state just before opening
the connection, just some additional information to see what's going on:

ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager)
getSystemService(CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo connNetwork = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
Log.i(TAG, "Active network info: " + String.valueOf(connNetwork));
