sudden black screen in android

Hi,

I’ve been developing an app that works fine in the simulator, but after a few minutes of running fine in android (on a motorola defy), it suddenly crashes to a black screen (but the app doesn’t exit).

I’ve been searching the forums here and i can’t see anything quite the same.

The spelling-case of my assets are all correct, and I don’t dynamically load any assets anyway (I only have 3 at the moment!). The garbage collector is being called relatively regularly.

I’m using the trial build 2011.591, does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem, or where I could look for a log? Any help much appreciated… I will eventually be investing in a full license…

Thanks to anyone who can help! [import]uid: 93586 topic_id: 16860 reply_id: 316860[/import]

Ah think I’ve found what’s causing the error in case anyone else has this problem.

I realised that it only ever crashed when using multi touch (it’s not enabled in my app). I think this was triggering some unexpected events in my logic… I expect there’s a nil access somewhere going on.

Obviously this is something that wouldn’t show up when using the simulator with a mouse.

Glad to hear you think you’ve isolated your problem, I hope from there you’re able to get it working how you want it :slight_smile:
