It gets hot because it's using more power - at a guess your code is sitting in a loop somewhere being "busy" all the time instead of waiting and letting the system slow things down when there isn't much going on.

But without your full code - and I'm not going to wade through it all - we can;t really help you.

Have a look at some of these: Google: "Android profiling"[^] - they may help you find out where your app is "busy".

As general rule, for all systems and all languages, always *be sure* that your code have no polling! On any decent OS there is always a waiting primitive that allows to your app to give back control to OS and suspend use of CPU. Then the OS will call your app back to life when conditions is on.
A polling just keep the CPU running consuming power...
