"The application may be doing too much work on its main thread" only without video output connected

Question

I'm having a strange issue when I run my application from Android Studio on my device. When the HDMI cable of my device (e.g. Odroid) is disconnected (no other video output connected), I found in Logcat this error "The application may be doing too much work on its main thread". When a monitor is plugged the error did not show anymore.

Do you think is something related to the code or just a random error not relevant?

PS I need to use my app without video output.

PPS The error appears only when the monitor is not plugged.

It seems that , there is some waiting mechanism in your code , So I suggest you to shift your code into AsyncTask so you will never encounter this error.

Do you think is not related to the video output connected? Because I just used different Threads and AsyncTask too. – Daniele May 10 '16 at 10:26
Yes I think you have written some code to detect Video device or something related to that, So after disconnecting with HDMI you are getting error. – Gaurav May 10 '16 at 10:30
So it's OS related? I'm using an Odroid device – Daniele May 10 '16 at 10:32
