It destroyed all my sellings.

Please fix it. it is a very old problem. I really can’t understand how this bug is not a priority. There are thousand of photo apps in google play and none but Corona apps have this problem.

PLEASE!

I still have this problem too since long time ago… All my android apps reboot randomly when I load a photo from gallery.

I am using version 2269 and still happens. It doesn’t happens when I take a photo, only when I load from album

Hi Joshua.

Do you have any update on the fix for the memory leak? I was going to release a new update on the game and just noticed that the bug is still there. (Tested on last daily build - 2014.2275 - both on Photo Picker sample app and on my game).

Thanks,

Rebato

We think we’ve narrowed it down to a bug in Google’s GLSurfaceView class in Java, because when we grabbed the newest version of that class from GitHub (Google open sources most of the Android OS), the memory leak went away.  However, in doing so, it introduced some new issues that prevented us from making that change.  Unfortunately, this issue still requires quite a bit of experimentation on our end to find a solution.  We don’t have an ETA yet.

Ok. Thanks for the update.

#66

Ok, just considere please that while that bug is public our apps are getting more and more low rating and complains. Please, fix it, please!

Hi guys. When will the fix be ? My app is crashing more often when I load a library to select photo. On 2014.2302 now.

Yosu. I am afraid they are not interested to fix it. Dont know why. I have reported it several times. Several posts in the forum . Even I have spoken directly with a CEO. It Is ignored…

As we’ve mentioned before, our goal is to solve this issue by the next release of Corona.  Unfortunately, this is a complex issue and there is no quick fix.  We’ve being toying with alternate solutions to this every week, but the trick is to find a solution that doesn’t have a negative impact on all other Corona developers… because this memory leak issue does not affect most Corona developers’ apps.  We’ll notify you when this solution is solved.

What is the status of this fix? This problem hinders the main functionality of our app. 

#75

This issue was solved in a daily build 2-3 months ago.

The newest release version (build #2393) fixes this issue as well.

#76

Thanks! 

#77

We’ve updated to version 2014.2393 and have observed the same behavior. Specifically, this issue is happening on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 running Android 4.4.2. 

We have also noticed that this issue happens most frequently (nearly every time) when using the highest resolution setting of the phone’s camera. On the lowest setting, it happens infrequently. 

In addition, the phone has 1.4 GB of unused memory and 14 GB of disc space.

You may be running into some other issue.  For example, if your Android device settings is set up to close an app when you leave them (even when moving forward to another window/activity such as the photo gallery), then what you’ll find is that your app restarts when navigating back from the photo gallery.  This is a developer setting that is not normally displayed to the end-user.  It prevents photo gallery’s Android “intent” which provides the selected photo information from being received.

Would you mind checking if that’s the case on your device?

It would be under the “Developer Settings”.  This would help us confirm what the root cause is.

#79

I’ve checked, and the setting is unchecked.

@zabace,

send me your apk and I can test here on 2 android devices (Galaxy S3 & S1).
