Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000000 (code=1) - PhoneGap

I develop Android apps now with PhoneGap. Lately when I try to switch between HTML pages, the application closed, and in the LogCat the following error appears:

12-24 15:43:39.237: A/libc(23631): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000000 (code=1), thread 23631 (.example.app)

I searched a bit on Google about this error, and what I understand is that it is related to the device's memory. I found some solutions, but not so much that I realized how I implement them in PhoneGap.

Has anyone here encountered this error before? What can I do to solve the problem?

Thank you :)

Solution 1:

If you have written (or are using) a plugin that in turn uses native C/C++ code through the NDK, this may indicate a bug in that native code.

Otherwise, this is a bug in the firmware of the device or emulator you are testing upon.

If you can reproduce this in an emulator, on a Nexus device with the original ROM, or on a variety of devices from different manufacturers, it is probably a bug in Android itself. In that case, please create a sample project that can reproduce the error, and post it along with the entire stack trace to http://b.android.com, the Android OS issue tracker.

If you are only encountering this on one device or one third-party ROM, it is probably a more specific bug -- your best bet is to contact the device manufacturer or ROM publisher with your symptoms.

Solution 2:

I was getting a similar error on the xhdpi Nexus 7 but things worked fine on my old phone. My problem occurred while updating a large GridView with lots of small buttons.

A/libc(7410): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0xbe8a8000 (code=1), thread 7410

I don't think this is your problem because your PC was 0 and mine was at 0xbe8a8000 but it's easy to try and it fixed my problem so I'm going to post it in case someone else comes here looking for a SEGV solution.
There was a discussion on https://github.com/MasDennis/Rajawali/issues/313 about a similar problem and someone mentioned that they had the same problem and turning off hardware acceleration fixed it for them. It's easy to try and it fixed my problem.
In the Android manifest application add:

android:hardwareAccelerated="false"

Hope this helps someone else...
