ERROR/Web Console: Uncaught Error: Too much time spent in unload handler

Question

When I load a url via WebView, I sometimes receive a flood of numerous messages like this:

10-19 19:18:38.056: ERROR/Web Console(6524): 
Uncaught Error: Too much time spent in unload handler. at v8/DateExtension:1

What does this error mean?

Answer 1

This appears to be defined in DateExtension.cpp, in webkit. It's a C++ exception that is thrown if a JS hook (inserted into Date.getTime, if enableSleepDetection(true) is set) is called more than 1000 times.

You might want to fetch the Android source code to look into it more. There's no documentation on the file.
