Deleting files stalls remainder of the program

[mirh]

Steps to reproduce are literally those.

Xperia S, marshmallow.
No, it doesn't seem a phone/rom problem, given SystemUI and everything else keep working normally.

How much do the files weigh? How many files?

[mirh]

3x200MB or like 10x10MB didn't particularly seem to matter.
My very educate first guess was that <i/o thread> was blocking the rest.

Everything is done in a service, exept getting the files metadatas

[mirh]

Then... Mhh, I'd be wondering what creates the problem.

You didn't mention the version though. Play store release might not be using service but a simple asynctask.

[mirh]

Oh, right.
I'm using 3.2.1.

This is still happening. Especially when deleting very big folders. The folder doesn't get deleted until it finishes getting the size, which can take a very long time with big media folders (like whatsapp's media folder).
