WiFi changed status affecting my app

I'm using WiFiManager through my app, at some level in the starting of the app it displays all the available WiFi networks to the user and enables him to choose one of them and make a connection to it, I'm making this by registering the CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE receiver through my manifest.xml:

    <receiver android:name="com.automation.standards.WifiReceiver" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

and then dealing with the received responses through my BroadcastReceiver:

public void onReceive(Context c, Intent intent) throws Error{
   // all of the work needed
}

The problem is, when receiving such responses while I'm already inside the app(due to WiFi connectivity lost, connecting to another network, or having any connection problems) that causes my app to be very slow and in a lot of causes it hangs and gives me ANR message, so how to overcome that?

for reference, this is my log:

There is a time limit to complete it's operations in onReceive(). Usually its 10 second. So I assume you aren't finishing your task by 10 sec limit thus resulting to ANR.

The time limit on a broadcast receiver is ten seconds compared to five seconds for an activity. It is a touch of a reprieve, but the limit is still there.

The process hosting the broadcast receiver will start and terminate along with the broadcast receiver execution. Hence the process will not stick around after the broadcast receiver's onReceive () method returns. you should move your task to an activity or service from onReceive()

I believe that it's because it's not finishing the task, but I can't deal with it outside Broadcast Receiver as it's a reflection to some action. – Theisen
