Android crash on rotation event [CLOSED]

Hello everyone,

I want to enable rotation for my app on android, but I get a crash before I even get the resizing event.

Here is the logcat output before the crash:

This is probably not helpful at all, but in my app Android orientation events work fine and I’ve not encountered any problems with them. I’m using SDL 2.0.5 because I haven’t acquired enough confidence in later releases to risk updating.

In my AndroidManifest.xml I have:

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"

and in my SDL event handler I’m responding to SDL_WINDOWEVENT with sub-category SDL_WINDOWEVENT_RESIZED.

Hello rtrussell,

I have orientation set in my AndroidManifest and I am also using 2.0.5 since 2.0.7 broke my project.
It happens before I even get the event so its nearly impossible to figure out what is the problem.

Greetings.

Hi Maarten,

in case you were expecting to handle rotation yourself, instead of what’s
currently happening to you in that the Android system is trying to handle it
(by destroying and recreating your app from scratch), then you should try
Richards suggestion. By declaring the events you wish to handle yourself in
the manifest, you avoid Android handling them for you.

Regards,

Daniel

HEllo hardcoredaniel,

Thats exactly what I am doing. Below I have posted my Manifest.xml

activity android:name=".SDLActivity"
android:configChanges=“keyboardHidden|orientation"
android:label=”@string/app_name"

Greetings,

You need to add “screenSize”.
