EGL 12291 EGL_BAD_ALLOC error detected during rendering

Question

I have a Live Wallpaper application that processes images. I get a crash message in the Play Store (but not in the fabric.io file) with this stack trace:

I can not find much information on the Internet ... it seems to be Samsung's problem.

Answer 1

I had the same problem with the service, it crashes when the service is destroyed, onDestroy removes some view in WindowManager.

The solution I found is to remove the view using removeViewImmediate instead of removeView

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
  super.onDestroy();
  WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
  windowManager.removeView(view);
}

replaced by

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
  super.onDestroy();
  WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
  windowManager.removeViewImmediate(view);
}
