Unusual Android error

Question

I have an Activity that uses a ListView to simply display a list of options for a user to select and when they select an option they are taken to a new Activity.

However on occasion the Activity with the options freezes when I try to select one of the options, I get the ANR and in the log cat the following error is displayed:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Performing pause of activity that is not resumed:<Activity>

Does anyone know what this error means and how to diagnose it?

A search brings up very little.

Does anyone know what may be causing the error?

I can post the code on request

Code as requested:

lvMenu.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
 @Override
 public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> a, View v, int position, long id) {
 switch(position){
 case 0:
 Intent intent = new Intent(this, SettingsApp.class);
 startActivity(intent);
 break;
 case 1:
 Intent intentHO = new Intent(.this, SettingsHO.class);
 startActivity(intentHO);
 break;
 case 2:
 Intent intentWifi = new Intent(this, Settings.class);
 startActivity(intentWifi);
 break;
 case 3:
 Intent intentAudio = new Intent(this, SettingsAudio.class);
 startActivity(intentAudio);
 break;
 case 4:
 Intent intentDiagnostics = new Intent(this, PhoneStatus.class);
 startActivity(intentDiagnostics);
 }
 }
 });

Seem you're doing something wrong starting a new Activity. Please post your onClickListener method.
