Irrlicht Engine

Posted: **Thu Sep 07, 2017 5:31 pm**

Been digging into why my apk crashes whenever I rotate the screen. Looks like it works for a split second (I can see the screen rotate before crashing).
Was wondering if anyone else is having this issue, or if it is because of my own code.

Hm, Irrlicht example doesn't seem to support rotation. If I remember right that was some manifest setting. Can you post your manifest xml and maybe a callstack of the crash?

I simply removed this line:

Code: Select all

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

from the manifest file to allow screen rotation.

The callstack looks like it is coming from my code, but if I continuously add returns everywhere, the crash location will change but still occur.
I'll still add it below anyways.

Code: Select all

When I rotate the screen, android_main() is called again.

Example not crashing, but results still somewhat interesting. As it also doesn't seem to realize in Irrlicht anything changed (still drawing with old resolution and xy-coordinates of events are now wrong). Which might also get me closer to the bug with the soft-keyboard (which I had given up on already).

So - can't help you with the crash. But you might have helped me at least gettings some more ideas.

Okay thanks for checking that for me. Must be something on my end that's causing the crash.

Just a quick hint, but SEGV_MAPERR means that you tried to access memory that's not mapped to your program's address space. That's usually because :
- You dereference a null pointer ;
- You try to free the same memory twice ;
- A pointer was corrupted ;
- There's a buffer overflow in your program.
