Box2D AndEngine: app hangs out when creating Joints during ContactListener?

问题

I am using Box2D in AndEngine (for Android).

My purpose is to create a Force joint whenever 2 objects collide with each other.

When I try to create a Mouse Joint between 2 objects (bodies) during ContactListner process. The application will hang for some time then exit, without any error, just a notification of threads ending.

The Joint creating is OK when I call mEnvironment.CreateForceJoint(..) outside the ContactListener - somewhere while app is running in some physics.UpdateHandler().

Please help me to solve the problems, or find out the reason. Thanks for any help!

This is my code:

public class MyActivity extends SimpleBaseGameActivity {
    private final String DEBUG_TAG = "MyActivity";
    private GEnvironment mEnvironment;
    private PhysicsWorld mPhysicsWorld;

    private MyFixture FIXTURE_PLANET = GlobalSettings.FIXTURE_PLANET;
    private MyFixture FIXTURE_VACUUM = GlobalSettings.FIXTURE_VACUUM;

    // CODE TO CREATE RESOURCES and ENGINE OPTIONS....

    @Override
    protected Scene onCreateScene() {
        Scene scene = new Scene();
        scene.setBackground(new Background(0.8627f, 0.9020f, 1.0f));

        //CODE: creating physic world
        //.....

        //creating game environment
        mEnvironment = new GEnvironment(mPhysicsWorld, scene, mEngine);

        //CODE: creating objects, register and attach them into scene
        GMediaPlanet sunZone = mEnvironment.CreatePlanet(x1, y1, sunTextureRegion, FIXTURE_PLANET);
        GMediaPlanet earthZone = mEnvironment.CreatePlanet(x2, y2, earthTextureRegion, FIXTURE_PLANET);

        // enable contact listener, detect collision between bodies
        mPhysicsWorld.setContactListener(new PlanetContactHandler());

        return scene;
    }

        // if there's one collision, do not handle others or re-handle it
        private boolean mIsColliding = false;

        @Override
        public void beginContact(Contact contact) {
            if (mIsColliding)
                return;

            //-----------------------------------------------
            //suppose colliding objects to be sunZone and earthZone

                        && bTag instanceof GMediaPlanet) {
                    box = (GMediaPlanet) aTag;
                    cube = (GMediaPlanet) bTag;
                }

                if (box != null && cube != null)

You can not modify the world in Step()-Call of Box2D because the World is locked! you should get an exception. You have to Remember which objects are colliding and do stuff after beginContact.. for example in an update function.
