IllegalStateException on HardwareRenderer createSurface

android

Solution

Like the link you mentioned says, First place to look for errors is to ensure that `onPause` and `onResume` are passed to both your super and to the `GLSurfaceView`

...@Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        mGLView.onPause();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mGLView.onResume();
    }

    private GLSurfaceView mGLView;...

Problem

In my crashlytics logs I see following error: ``` java.lang.IllegalStateException eglMakeCurrent failed EGL_BAD_ALLOC android.view.HardwareRenderer GlRenderer.createSurface HardwareRenderer.java at android.view.HardwareRenderer$GlRenderer.invalidate(HardwareRenderer.java:1328) at android.view.ViewRootImpl.performTraversals(ViewRootImpl.java:1921) at android.view.ViewRootImpl.doTraversal(ViewRootImpl.java:1234) at android.view.ViewRootImpl$TraversalRunnable.run(ViewRootImpl.java:6467) at android.view.Choreographer$CallbackRecord.run(Choreographer.java:803) at android.view.Choreographer.doCallbacks(Choreographer.java:603) at android.view.Choreographer.doFrame(Choreographer.java:573) at android.view.Choreographer$FrameDisplayEventReceiver.run(Choreographer.java:789) at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:733) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:95) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:157) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5356) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Method.java) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:515) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:1265) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:1081) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(NativeStart.java) ``` https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/android-4.4_r1.2/core/java/android/view/HardwareRenderer.java#L1328 I get this crash for GT I9500 - Android 4.4.2 users. What would be the cause and how can I isolate the problem ? (Similar: Problems with passing variable via intent between activities eglSwapBuffers failed: EGL_BAD_ALLOC AndEngine Android)
