Android Java App Crashing With Sigsegv

My android application sometimes crashes without any error message. The app just closes up and the device returns to the home screen. Normally there would be some error message tha

Solution 1:

A SIGSEGV indicates a firmware bug. There should be no way of causing one of these from an Android SDK application.

The error dump suggests that you are testing this on a Motorola device, perhaps a DROID. If you have access to another device, please try your app there and see if you have the same crashes.

If you have these crashes only on some modded ROM, you should contact that ROM maker and point them to this question, preferably with instructions for how to reproduce this crash.

If you have the crashes on multiple devices each running stock firmware, then this would be an Android firmware bug. Post the whole error dump you have below, plus steps to reproduce the crash, to http://b.android.com.

If you only have the crashes on this Motorola device, then the whole error dump you have below, plus steps to reproduce the crash, to the relevant MOTODEV support board.

Solution 2:

Do these sudden crashes occur on any other app?

Can you describe the general nature of your app, what it does, what permissions and libraries it is using? The random nature makes me suspect a piece of hardware is failing at random times due to heat or other anomalous conditions.
